Summary of the contracting process

Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured Dementia Care Mapping training to support the delivery of person-centred care. The requirement is an education and training service, covering the use of Dementia Care Mapping and the application of its findings in care practice. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust based in Leeds. The procurement is associated with the trust rather than a general commercial training framework, so it is most relevant to organisations that can provide specialist dementia-care education, staff development and practical training connected with person-centred approaches. The requirement was treated as a single service package for the trust. University of Bradford was appointed to provide the service.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the threshold, without competition, for one completed lot. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2027. Its value is £12,500 gross. University of Bradford is the appointed supplier. The published award information records one award at £12,500 and a further active award record for the same training service; the active contract is linked to the latter. The process therefore represents a completed, single-supplier purchase rather than an open competition or framework opportunity. The award concerns services classified as education and training.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this purchase shows that the trust uses external specialist providers for dementia-care training focused on person-centred practice. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in Dementia Care Mapping, translating mapping findings into improved care, and training staff to apply person-centred methods in operational settings. The appointment of the University of Bradford indicates that a substantial education or training institution with recognised subject-matter capability can meet the buyer’s needs. Relevant providers are likely to be organisations able to design and deliver structured learning, work with NHS or care-sector teams, and provide suitably experienced trainers. Evidence of effective dementia training, practical implementation support and the capacity to serve an NHS foundation trust would strengthen a future response.
