Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has awarded a contract to KPMG LLP for the "Nye Bevan intake 12" programme, focusing on education and training services within the public sector. The contract, valued at approximately £1,037,322 before VAT (£1,243,550.40 including VAT), will commence on 20th March 2026 and conclude on 30th September 2027. This procurement follows a direct award method, justified by the absence of competition for technical reasons, and falls under the 'light touch' regime. The programme will take place in London, UK, aimed at enhancing leadership skills in the healthcare sector, delivered through two cohorts of 49 participants each, combining programme delivery, action learning sets, and faculty procurement. Key dates included the signing on 30th June 2026 and the end of the contract on 30th September 2027.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the educational and training services sector, primarily those able to deliver high-quality leadership development programmes. Large firms with a strong track record in facilitating educational services for public authorities, such as central government agencies or healthcare entities, would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar opportunities. The contract, awarded directly due to specific technical expertise requirements, reflects the importance of possessing specialised capabilities and proven experience in developing senior healthcare leaders capable of supporting high-quality patient care and reducing future recruitment costs by strengthening the executive talent pipeline.
