UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured executive team and board development services, categorised as specialist training services. The work supports the Trust’s executive team and board through development activity, rather than supplying goods or construction. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The requirement is therefore relevant to providers of senior leadership development, board development, executive coaching, governance-related training or comparable organisational development services for NHS or other public-sector organisations. The awarded supplier, Co Create Ltd, is based in Exeter, indicating delivery for the Trust in Somerset, although the published requirement does not describe additional delivery sites or a wider geographic scope.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold procedure described as “unknown”. One lot was completed. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026, with a contract period from 9 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. Co Create Ltd was awarded the contract on an active basis. The contract value is £23,170 excluding VAT, or £27,804 including VAT. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer. The procurement concerns services rather than goods or works, and the published outcome identifies specialist training services. The available award information does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or evaluation weighting, so the commercial outcome is best understood through the requirement and the selected supplier.

This award shows a defined requirement for specialist development services aimed at an NHS executive team and board. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have demonstrable capability in senior leadership development, board effectiveness, executive coaching, facilitated development programmes and training for public-sector leadership groups. Credibility would depend on evidence of delivering sensitive, high-level work with boards and executive teams, understanding governance and organisational context, and adapting programmes to the needs of a healthcare organisation. Providers should be able to manage a focused engagement for a senior audience and demonstrate strong facilitation, stakeholder management and development expertise. Co Create Ltd is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller consultancy rather than only a large training provider.
