UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust purchased staff training through continuing professional development (CPD) courses for the 2026/27 programme. The requirement covers education and training services focused on biomedical science, with the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) identified as the supplier. The Trust is based in Basildon and serves the Mid and South Essex area. This is a specialist professional-learning requirement rather than a general training, recruitment or clinical services contract. Businesses relevant to this type of work include providers of biomedical science education, CPD course design and delivery, and professional training for NHS or laboratory staff. The requirement is centred on structured courses that support staff development within a healthcare and biomedical science setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The award was made to the Institute of Biomedical Science on 16 July 2026. One completed lot was awarded, and the resulting contract is active. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. The evaluation basis was the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract concerns education and training services for the Trust’s CPD courses and is below the applicable procurement threshold.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist biomedical science CPD and staff training within an NHS foundation trust. The selected supplier is an SME professional body, indicating that a focused organisation with subject expertise can deliver the requirement without the scale of a large national training provider. Businesses considering similar work would need credible capability in biomedical science education, professionally relevant CPD content, and the organisation and delivery of staff training courses. A strong proposition would show that course content is suitable for healthcare laboratory professionals and can support an NHS trust’s workforce-development objectives. Professional standing in biomedical science and the ability to provide structured, reliable learning would be important when this type of requirement is next considered.
