UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured staff continuing professional development (CPD) courses for its workforce. The requirement is for education and training services, specifically medical training delivered under the CPD Courses 26/27 programme. The buying organisation is the Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, based in Basildon, with delivery intended for its staff and the Trust’s operating environment. The procurement concerns a single service requirement rather than separate goods or construction works. It is a healthcare workforce development opportunity centred on providing structured professional training to NHS personnel. Businesses should therefore have a clear focus on medical education, staff development or related professional training services, rather than general facilities, supplies or clinical treatment services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. SCM Medical Training Ltd was awarded the contract on 20 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The contract is active and covers the single CPD courses lot. The award was made for education and training services, evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. SCM Medical Training Ltd, an SME based in London, is the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for externally provided medical training and continuing professional development for staff. A credible future competitor would need to design and deliver relevant professional courses for an NHS workforce, with the subject expertise and teaching capability to support staff development in a healthcare setting. It would also need to manage a defined programme of training services for a public-sector healthcare buyer, work reliably with Trust requirements, and demonstrate that its delivery model is suitable for CPD provision. The selected supplier is an SME specialising in medical training, showing that this requirement can suit a focused training provider rather than only a large education company. The relevant commercial capability is medical education delivery, not general training alone.
