Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned support for the National Breast Screening Academy’s Breast Clinician Credential. The service supports the requirement for a credential in breast disease management and provides oversight and management of delivery throughout the full duration of the programme. It is an education and training service, delivered through Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, which hosts the academy. The requirement is relevant to organisations with experience designing, administering or delivering structured clinical education and credentialing programmes for healthcare professionals. It also suits providers able to coordinate programme delivery for a national health service body, maintain learner-facing provision and support the operational management of a specialist breast disease management credential.

This procurement is complete and was awarded directly by NHS England to Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. The procedure was a below-threshold direct award without competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed and started on 2 July 2026, with a period running to 31 March 2029. Its awarded value is £120,000 gross, in GBP. The award covers one lot and the contract is active. The published requirement includes delivery-output measures covering learner uptake, education provision and feedback communications, with observations recorded over three-month periods. The selected supplier is responsible for supporting the academy’s breast clinician credential and overseeing delivery across the programme duration.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need specialist capability in clinical education, healthcare workforce development and credentialing in breast disease management. Experience supporting NHS or comparable professional education programmes would help demonstrate an understanding of governance, clinical oversight, learner needs and delivery across a sustained programme. Suppliers should be able to provide or coordinate education provision, manage learner participation and maintain clear feedback communications. The requirement also indicates a need for practical programme-management capacity: monitoring learner uptake, tracking education delivery and reporting service outputs at regular intervals. Organisations combining clinical subject knowledge with robust administration, stakeholder coordination and measurable delivery performance would be best placed to compete when this buyer next reviews the service.
