Summary of the contracting process

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) procured a Master of Public Health (MPH) qualification for resident doctors undertaking the Public Health Specialty Training Scheme in Wales. The programme is a mandatory part of specialty training, supporting trainees to meet curriculum requirements, obtain a Certificate of Completion of Training and progress towards qualification as Public Health Consultants. The requirement covers education and training services, with delivery for trainees based in North Wales. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, provided procurement support. This opportunity is therefore relevant to universities, medical schools and specialist education providers able to design and deliver postgraduate public health training for doctors within the Welsh training system.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to the University of Liverpool on 7 July 2026, without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The buyer identified the University of Liverpool as the only appropriate provider for trainees based in North Wales. The award and contract value is £26,000 including tax. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2029; the award record gives an anticipated service period ending 31 October 2028. One completed lot covers the requirement. A signature milestone was scheduled for 17 August 2026. The agreement is non-committal and does not guarantee any maximum level of spend. The selected supplier is the University of Liverpool.

This award shows demand from HEIW for a specialist postgraduate public health qualification supporting doctors in Wales, particularly trainees based in North Wales. A future competitor would need to be a credible higher education or medical education provider able to deliver a Master of Public Health programme for doctors undertaking specialty training. The service would need to align with the Public Health Specialty Training Scheme, support required curriculum outcomes and help trainees progress towards a Certificate of Completion of Training and consultant qualification. Providers should also be able to demonstrate that their programme is appropriate for the Welsh training context and can support resident doctors through mandatory academic training. The direct award route indicates that suitability and provider capability were central to this requirement.
