UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured continuing professional development (CPD) courses and staff training services from Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine. The requirement covers education and training services for the Trust’s workforce, under a light-touch public service regime. The buying organisation is based at Nethermayne, Basildon, and the services support the Trust’s staff training needs. Imperial College London is the named service provider, with the relevant delivery associated with the Trust’s operations in Mid and South Essex. This is a single education and training requirement rather than a supply of goods or construction works, making it relevant to universities, specialist training providers and organisations able to deliver professional development courses to NHS staff.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was made on 16 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT, or £18,000 including VAT. The contract is active and Imperial College London is the selected supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the published process does not indicate a scored price-and-quality competition or separate competitive lots.

This procurement is evidence of demand from an NHS foundation trust for structured CPD and staff training delivered by a recognised higher-education institution. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would need credible education and training capability, relevant course content, experienced tutors and the capacity to train healthcare staff during an organised programme. Familiarity with NHS workforce needs, professional development environments and public-sector contract delivery would strengthen a supplier’s position. Universities, specialist clinical education providers and established training businesses could be credible competitors, particularly where they can demonstrate reliable delivery, suitable learning outcomes and the organisational scale needed to support a large NHS trust.
