Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured staff training and continuing professional development courses under a medical education programme funded by Health Education England. The requirement is for education and training services, covering the CPD courses identified as “Med Ed HEE Funded - CPD Courses 26/27 Bond Solon”. The buying organisation is the Trust, based in Basildon. The service is associated with the Trust’s healthcare workforce and medical education activity, so relevant providers are those able to design or deliver structured professional development and staff training for NHS personnel. The procurement covers one requirement rather than a separately described range of lots, and the awarded service is identified as education and training rather than goods, construction or general consultancy.

The procurement is complete and was awarded without competition as a below-threshold direct award under the light-touch regime. Bond Solon was selected. The award date was 6 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 16 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £75,000 excluding VAT and £90,000 including VAT. The award and contract relate to the single course requirement. The published evaluation route was therefore a direct award rather than a competitive assessment, with no tender competition described. The contract is active, and the recorded award and contract information identify Bond Solon as the supplier for the full stated service.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is a clear example of demand from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for funded medical education, CPD and staff training. A credible future competitor would need a demonstrable ability to provide structured professional development courses for healthcare staff, manage delivery across an NHS training environment and align course provision with workforce development needs. Providers should be able to explain their experience delivering education and training services rather than only supplying generic learning materials. Understanding how Health Education England-funded activity is planned and administered would also be relevant. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only by a large training organisation.
