UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust culminated in the award of a contract for CPD Courses for 2026/27 to the University of Manchester. Categorised under education and training services, this contract strengthens opportunities in the services industry. Based in Basildon, the buying organisation opted for a direct procurement method due to requirements falling below the threshold, allowing for a streamlined process without competition. The award was documented on 20th July 2026, with the contract set to run from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2027, valued at £18,000 gross. Although complete, this procurement exemplifies the Trust's strategy in securing tailored educational services for staff training.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services to gain insights into the procurement preferences of public authorities, such as the NHS Trust. Enterprises that offer niche training programmes aligned with institutional objectives can leverage these insights to offer competitive services in future non-competitive tenders with similar organisations. By understanding how direct procurement is utilised for below-threshold contracts, businesses can tailor their offerings to meet specific public sector needs, enhancing growth potential within the public procurement landscape.
