UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured staff continuing professional development (CPD) training courses from the University of Leeds. The requirement falls within education and training services and supports the Trust’s staff development needs. Delivery is associated with the Trust in Basildon, Essex, while the selected provider is the University of Leeds, based in Leeds. The procurement covers a defined programme of CPD courses rather than general goods or construction works. This is relevant to universities, higher education providers, professional training organisations and specialist learning providers with the ability to design and deliver structured development courses for NHS staff and other healthcare workforce groups.

The procurement has reached completion and the contract was awarded to the University of Leeds. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The award is active and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. One lot was completed and awarded. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the published outcome identifies the selected provider and agreed contract value rather than competing bids or a scored evaluation.

This procurement is commercially relevant to established education and training providers with credible capability in continuing professional development and staff training. The selected supplier is a large university, indicating that a future comparable requirement would be suited to organisations able to provide academically robust courses, qualified teaching staff and reliable programme administration. Providers should be able to understand NHS workforce development needs, tailor learning to professional users and deliver consistently across an annual programme. Experience of working with public-sector or healthcare organisations would strengthen credibility, as would clear quality assurance, suitable course materials, learner support and the operational capacity to manage bookings, attendance and course delivery for Trust staff.
