Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured staff training courses as continuing professional development (CPD) services for its workforce. The requirement covers education and training services, with the procurement titled “CPD Courses 26/27 University of East Anglia”. Delivery is associated with the Trust, based in Basildon, and the selected education provider is the University of East Anglia in Norwich. The buying organisation is an NHS foundation trust, while the supplier is a large university. This opportunity is relevant to universities, higher education providers and specialist training organisations that design and deliver structured CPD or staff development courses for NHS or other public sector workforces.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to the University of East Anglia without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award is active and covers one completed lot. The award and contract were dated 20 July 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £70,000 excluding VAT and £84,000 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through a direct award rather than a competitive tender. The contract is subject to the light-touch regime and concerns education and training services for staff CPD. The named supplier is the University of East Anglia.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for externally delivered staff CPD and training courses. It is commercially relevant to established education and training providers able to supply structured professional development to an NHS workforce, understand public-sector delivery requirements and support a programme over a full annual cycle. The selected supplier was the University of East Anglia, a large university, indicating that institutional education providers are credible competitors for this type of requirement. Providers considering similar work for this buyer should be able to demonstrate recognised teaching or training capability, suitable course design and delivery capacity, and experience serving organisational workforces rather than only individual learners.
