UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured staff continuing professional development (CPD) training courses under the Eden Learning programme. The requirement is classified as education and training services (CPV 80000000) and covers one complete lot. The courses are intended for the Trust’s staff, making this relevant to providers of structured professional development, workforce learning and training delivery for NHS or other large public-sector organisations. The contracting buyer is based in Basildon, Essex. The selected provider is The Eden Trust (Eden Learning), whose registered address is in Cornwall. The available description identifies the requirement as staff training courses for the 2026/27 programme, rather than a supply of goods, construction work or general consultancy.

This procurement has been completed and awarded, with The Eden Trust (Eden Learning) selected as the supplier. The award was made on 16 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT, or £30,000 including VAT. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The procurement was evaluated as a single completed lot, and the award covers education and training services. This outcome shows that the requirement was placed through a non-competitive route rather than an open tender, with the contract now in its delivery period.

For training providers, this award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for staff CPD courses delivered through a focused learning programme. A credible future competitor would need to provide relevant professional development content, course design and delivery capability, and the capacity to support staff training across a substantial healthcare organisation. Experience of working with NHS or similarly regulated public-sector workforces would help demonstrate understanding of operational constraints, learner needs and professional standards. Providers should be able to manage a programme of courses consistently, coordinate delivery with the Trust and evidence effective learning outcomes. The incumbent is a large organisation, so competitors may need comparable organisational capacity, or a clear delivery model showing how a smaller specialist provider can provide dependable coverage and quality.
