UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Essex Integrated Care Board procured a primary care continuing professional development programme. The service provides continuing professional development for the primary care workforce, as part of a wider programme delivered with other providers. It falls within health services and is intended to support workforce development, service quality and patient safety. The buying organisation is NHS Essex Integrated Care Board, a sub-central public authority. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers a structured training and development programme rather than the supply of goods or construction works. It is relevant to organisations that design and deliver professional development, training and education for primary care staff, particularly providers able to work alongside other programme suppliers and support planned training activity.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Practitioner Development UK Ltd. NHS Essex Integrated Care Board used a below-threshold limited competition under a waiver, with a single completed lot. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026, with the stated contract period running from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £67,567 gross. The tender description also gives a yearly value of £13,900 and an aggregate value of £65,567, and states that the requirement would remain below the £207,702 procurement threshold. The award was made on 1 April 2026. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Essex Integrated Care Board for continuing professional development aimed specifically at the primary care workforce. A credible future competitor would need to provide relevant health and professional training, organise delivery around staff interest and pre-planned sessions, and maintain sufficient trainer capacity to support booked activity. The requirement also sits within a wider programme involving other providers, so experience of working collaboratively, coordinating delivery and fitting a defined service into a broader training offer would be commercially relevant. Providers should be able to demonstrate dependable programme management, suitable trainers and an understanding of how workforce development supports primary care service quality and patient safety. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of specialist delivery can suit a smaller provider.
