UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured continuing professional development (CPD) staff training courses from London South Bank University. The requirement is for education and training services supporting the Trust’s workforce, under the title “CPD Courses 26/27 London Southbank”. The work is associated with the Trust’s services in Mid and South Essex, while delivery is linked to London South Bank University in London. This is a services opportunity for organisations providing structured professional development, staff training and related educational provision. The named buyer is Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS organisation. The selected supplier is London South Bank University, indicating that the requirement was placed with a higher education provider able to deliver CPD courses for NHS staff.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to London South Bank University. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The award is active and the contract was signed on 16 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £45,000 excluding VAT and £54,000 including VAT. There was one lot covering the CPD courses and staff training requirement. The award covers education and training services. The contracting authority selected the named supplier through the direct-award route rather than inviting competing bids. This outcome records a single supplier and a single contract for the requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from an NHS foundation trust for externally delivered CPD and staff training, with a higher education institution selected as the provider. Suppliers most closely aligned to a future requirement would be organisations able to design and deliver structured professional development courses for NHS staff, manage course delivery for an organisational workforce, and demonstrate credible educational expertise. Universities, specialist training providers and organisations with established links to healthcare education may be well placed, provided they can offer relevant course content and dependable delivery. A competing provider would need to show that it can meet the Trust’s staff-development needs through a coherent CPD offer, suitable teaching capability and the operational capacity to support the required programme.
