UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Essex Integrated Care Board procured a Primary Care Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programme. The service provides continuing professional development and training for the primary care workforce, forming part of a wider programme delivered with other providers. The requirement is intended to support staff development, the quality of primary care services and patient safety. The buying organisation is NHS Essex Integrated Care Board, based in Chelmsford. The awarded service is classified as health services and is delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to organisations that design, coordinate or deliver structured professional development and training for primary care staff.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Health Academy Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition under a limited procurement method. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its annual value is £12,600, while the aggregate contract value is £53,992, all in GBP. The award covers one completed lot and is recorded as active. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the available information describes the requirement and delivery arrangement rather than setting out separate quality or price weightings. The contract is below the relevant procurement threshold, and the supplier is Health Academy Limited.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Essex Integrated Care Board for a defined primary care workforce development service, delivered as part of a broader programme involving other providers. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show practical capability in planning and delivering continuing professional development for primary care staff, coordinating trainers and scheduled sessions, and managing participant interest and attendance. Experience of working with NHS or primary care organisations would help demonstrate an understanding of clinical workforce needs, service quality and patient safety. Suppliers should also be able to operate alongside other providers within a wider training programme and maintain reliable delivery arrangements where staff development activity is already planned. The requirement is suited to specialist training organisations with relevant health-sector delivery experience.
