Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust involved awarding a contract for the provision of CPD courses funded under the Med Ed HEE scheme for the 2026/27 academic year to be delivered by the University of Southampton. This contract is in the 'Complete' stage, having been awarded on 19th June 2026, with services commencing on 1st September 2026 and concluding on 31st August 2027. The procurement focused on the educational sector, specifically in Essex, and was conducted through a direct procurement method, classified as below the threshold without competition, under the "lightTouch" regime.

This tender presents a growth opportunity particularly for educational institutions that specialise in offering professional development courses. Organisations capable of providing high-quality training services would find opportunities especially in collaborating with healthcare institutions such as NHS trusts that require staff training and development. While this particular contract has been awarded, businesses in the education and training services sector can position themselves to engage in similar opportunities that may arise as trusts seek education partners for training services. Engaging with NHS Trusts on such contracts can enhance an organisation's profile in public sector training provision.
