UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Essex Integrated Care Board commissioned a primary care continuing professional development programme. The services support the primary care workforce through continuing professional development and form part of a wider programme delivered with other providers. The requirement concerns health services, including the provision and continuation of training for primary care staff. Delivery is associated with NHS Essex Integrated Care Board and its primary care workforce; the buying organisation is based in Chelmsford. The work is relevant to training providers with experience designing and delivering professional development for primary care staff, particularly organisations able to contribute to a coordinated programme involving multiple providers and planned training activity.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Clinical Training Ltd following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and awarded on the same date. It covers one completed lot. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated yearly contract value is £25,764, while the aggregate contract value is £45,083, both in GBP. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used a limited method rather than an open competition. The stated basis for the award was the Authority’s waiver to continue the programme, with trainers already booked and staff having expressed interest in the planned training.

This award indicates established demand from NHS Essex Integrated Care Board for structured continuing professional development aimed at the primary care workforce. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in delivering relevant clinical or professional training, managing planned sessions and maintaining continuity for staff already engaged in a programme. Providers should be able to work alongside other training organisations within a wider coordinated programme, organise trainers and delivery reliably, and support workforce development outcomes that affect the quality and safety of primary care services. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only by a large national organisation. The relevant market is healthcare training with direct primary care expertise.
