UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust bought continuing professional development (CPD) and staff training courses from the University of Greenwich. The requirement is an education and training service intended to support the Trust’s staff development needs. The buyer is based in Basildon, Essex, while the contracted supplier is based at the University of Greenwich in Greenwich, London. The procurement covers one service requirement under a light-touch regime. It is relevant to universities, further and higher education providers, professional training organisations and specialist learning providers with the ability to design and deliver structured CPD courses for NHS or other public-sector staff. Organisations offering general education without workforce training capability are less closely aligned with this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The University of Greenwich was selected on 20 July 2026 for the CPD Courses 26/27 requirement. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. There was one lot, covering education and training services. The process used a light-touch regime and did not involve a competitive tender. The award is active and the contract is active, so this record describes an agreed requirement rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

This award shows that Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust purchases a defined annual programme of staff CPD and training from a substantial education provider. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible expertise in adult and professional learning, the ability to provide courses suitable for NHS staff, and sufficient teaching, administration and quality-assurance capacity to support a year-long programme. A university, college, training organisation or specialist provider with established course design and delivery capability would be well placed to compete if the Trust’s requirement returns to market. Evidence of relevant public-sector or healthcare workforce training, dependable delivery arrangements and the capacity to manage multiple courses would strengthen a future proposition.
