Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, conducted by Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, concerns the provision of CPD courses for the 2026/2027 period, specifically aimed at King's College London staff. This direct award contract is set within the education and training services category, under the procurement method classified as "direct" due to the single supplier requirement. Located primarily in Basildon, Essex, and further served by the nearby King's College in London, this project's planning and tendering stages are completed with the contract signed on 10th July 2026. The contract will be active from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2027, with a gross value of £138,000.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for large organisations capable of delivering specialised education and training services, particularly those already collaborating on similar projects within the NHS framework. The direct award nature suggests that businesses with unique capabilities or established relationships with healthcare facilities may find more lucrative prospects. Organisations with a base in or near London and Basildon will be well-positioned to fulfil the contract, given accessibility for staff training programs. Additionally, partners of King's College London or entities with experience in public sector contracts in education will be well-suited to navigate the specific requirements and potentially extend collaboration into future opportunities.
