UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is planning a structured programme of cadaveric courses for trainees in the East of England. The courses will be mapped to the relevant training curriculum and cover specialties including surgery, anaesthesia, cardiology and emergency medicine. The service is expected to include defined course volumes, faculty input and access to cadaveric resources. Associated delivery requirements include anatomy laboratory hire, cadavers, technical support and consumables. This is an education and training service, delivered for East of England trainees. The work is being procured by NHS England, a central government public authority, under the light-touch regime. The planned procurement is a single service requirement and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is at the planning stage and NHS England is conducting a Request for Information to inform the project. The buyer expects to commence the procurement and award any subsequent contract subject to budgetary approval. The planned procedure and procurement method have not yet been settled. NHS England has indicated an engagement milestone due by 31 July 2026 and expects a subsequent notice around 1 November 2026. The anticipated contract period is 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2028, with a possible extension to 30 June 2030. The estimated value is £3,000,000 including taxes, in total. The requirement is above the relevant threshold. Responses to the market engagement are intended to help shape the future procurement rather than constitute a tender invitation.

This will suit organisations that can design and deliver curriculum-mapped cadaveric medical training for postgraduate or specialist trainees. Relevant suppliers are likely to combine teaching expertise in specialties such as surgery, anaesthesia, cardiology or emergency medicine with access to suitable faculty, anatomy laboratory facilities and cadaveric resources. The delivery model may also require reliable technical support and the procurement of consumables for practical courses. Providers with experience coordinating defined course volumes, managing faculty and resource logistics, and delivering structured programmes for healthcare professionals will be well placed to contribute. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are expressly identified as suitable, so established training providers, specialist anatomy centres and capable delivery partnerships should consider preparing evidence of their educational, operational and governance capacity.
