UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Essex Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the Primary Care Continuing Professional Development Programme to Health Academy Limited. The contract period spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a total value of £53,992 for the entire duration. This procurement falls under the health services category within the United Kingdom, specifically in Chelmsford. Conducted through a limited procurement method due to the contract value being below the threshold, this process required no standstill period, allowing for a streamlined completion. The industry category of this procurement is public authority sub-central government.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in health services and professional development. Companies that can support the provision of training and development programmes, particularly those with experience in healthcare settings, would be well-suited for similar contracts. The limited competition approach also signals potential opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to engage with public sector contracts in the health services domain. The contract's scope for enhancing the skills of the primary care workforce underscores the demand for qualified agencies capable of delivering high-quality training services.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Primary Care Continuing Professional Development Programme (CPD)

Notice Description

NHS Essex Integrated Care Board (the Authority) (herein "the Authority")'s has undertaken a waiver for a contract to be awarded to Health Academy Limited 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 2027 and the yearly contract value is PS12,600 and the aggregate value of PS53,992 and 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.
