Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Essex Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for a "Primary Care CPD Programme," awarding a contract to Practitioner Development UK Ltd. This procurement is in the health services category, facilitating Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for the primary care workforce. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract spanning from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027 for a value of £67,567. The process followed a limited competition procurement method and was conducted below the threshold, thus exempting it from certain procedural requirements like the standstill period. The initiative supports training crucial for service quality and patient safety within the Chelmsford area, part of the UKH36 region. The main CPD programme activities will be delivered within the United Kingdom.

This tender provides excellent opportunities for businesses specialising in health and professional development services to expand their portfolio by supporting essential training for healthcare providers. Supplier businesses like Practitioner Development UK Ltd, who are experienced in delivering tailored professional development solutions, stand to gain from engaging with authorities like the NHS. This aligns with enhancing skills and compliance within healthcare settings, accommodating SMEs wishing to partake in government contracts focused on substantial industry impacts. As such, enterprises with expertise in healthcare training solutions should look to position themselves for similar opportunities, reinforcing sector growth and gaining a foothold in the expanding public procurement market.

Notice Title

Primary Care CPD Programme

Notice Description

NHS Essex Integrated Care Board (the Authority) (herein "the Authority")'s has undertaken a waiver for a contract to be awarded to Practitioner Development UK Ltd for the provision of a Primary Care Continuing professional Development Programme and to continue providing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to Primary care workforce as part of a wider program with other providers aswell. Failure of this will result in the cancellation of the CPD program as trainers are already booked and dates planned with the staff having already expressed an interest in the training. Staff will not be able to develop which will impact on the quality of services delivered by primary care and patient safety. The contract is for 12 months from 01st April 2026 until 31st March 2028 and the yearly contract value is PS13,900 and the aggregate value of PS65,567and is not likely to be extended to exceed the procurement threshold of PS207,702, therefore the ICB only need to issue a Contract Details Notice (CDN) once you have awarded the contract.i.e., there is no requirement to observe a standstill period etc.
