Summary of the contracting process

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) procured Master of Public Health (MPH) education and training services for resident doctors on the Public Health Training Scheme in Wales. The qualification is a mandatory part of specialty training, supporting trainees to meet curriculum requirements and progress towards qualification. Cardiff University is providing the programme, with delivery in Wales and the requirement focused on the South Wales region. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership provided procurement support for HEIW. The opportunity is therefore relevant to universities, higher education providers and specialist education organisations able to deliver postgraduate public health qualifications for doctors in structured clinical training programmes. It is a services requirement rather than a construction, goods supply or general consultancy opportunity.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Cardiff University on 7 July 2026 following a direct award. HEIW stated that Cardiff University was the only supplier able to provide the course in South Wales, with the rationale classified as single-supplier technical reasons. The award value is £151,140 gross, and the contract was signed on 21 July 2026. The awarded service period is 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2029. The signed contract record separately gives a contract period of 30 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. One lot was completed. The agreement is non-committal and does not guarantee a maximum level of spend. The published outcome identifies education and training services, with Cardiff University as the selected supplier.

This procurement indicates demand from HEIW for a university-level Master of Public Health qualification designed specifically for doctors undertaking public health specialty training. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable future requirement would need an established postgraduate public health teaching offer, suitable academic staff and the ability to support doctors through mandatory curriculum and qualification requirements. Credibility would also depend on delivering a structured programme aligned with specialty training progression and serving trainees in Wales, particularly South Wales. Cardiff University's selection shows that the buyer valued a provider able to deliver the required course in that region and regarded it as the only appropriate technical source. Universities and specialist medical education providers with comparable regional delivery capability would be the closest competitors.
