UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured staff training courses for continuing professional development (CPD) during the 2026/27 programme. The requirement is for education and training services, intended to support the Trust’s staff through CPD courses. The buying organisation is Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, based in Basildon. The procurement covers one completed requirement and was delivered through a single service arrangement. This is relevant to training providers, professional development organisations and specialists that design or deliver structured learning for NHS or other healthcare staff. Suppliers with experience of providing workplace learning, CPD programmes or staff development services to large public-sector organisations would find the requirement most closely aligned with their offer and operating model.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to M&K Update Limited, an SME. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The award and contract relate to one requirement for CPD courses and staff training. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026, has a period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, and is active. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. The award date is 16 July 2026. The published data records the procurement method and threshold route, but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings for the award.

This completed contract provides a clear indication that Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust buys structured CPD and staff training services through a below-threshold direct-award route. A competitor preparing for a future requirement would need a credible capability to design and deliver relevant professional development courses for NHS staff, supported by reliable trainers, suitable course materials and the capacity to provide an organised programme over a full training year. Experience of workplace learning and public-sector or healthcare environments would help demonstrate fit with the requirement. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the work can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national training provider. Suppliers should monitor this buyer’s future staff-development requirements.
