UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned delivery of a cohort of the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Standard Programme, an NHS leadership qualification focused on primary care. The programme is to be delivered by the University of Birmingham, which holds a licence to deliver it. The requirement covers programme delivery for the commissioned cohort, with the work associated with Birmingham and the University of Birmingham’s Edgbaston setting. This is an education and training services opportunity for organisations able to provide structured leadership development within the NHS, particularly where delivery depends on an existing programme licence and an understanding of primary care. The buyer is NHS England, a central government public authority.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. It used a below-threshold route with the specific method recorded as unknown, under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to the University of Birmingham. The award is for education and training services, and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 13 November 2028 and is valued at £662,000 gross. The programme was planned to start in mid-May 2026 and run for two years; the signed contract period provides the operative delivery dates. This outcome shows NHS England selected the University of Birmingham to deliver the commissioned Elizabeth Garrett Anderson cohort.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need to deliver the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Standard Programme as an NHS leadership qualification, with particular relevance to primary care. Holding the required licence to deliver the programme is central: the selected supplier was the University of Birmingham, and the requirement specifically identifies its licence. Suppliers would also need the educational capability to manage a cohort-based programme, provide structured leadership development for NHS participants, and sustain delivery over a multi-year period. The scale of the award indicates a substantial commissioned programme rather than a short course or isolated training session. Experience working with NHS leadership development and primary-care audiences would strengthen a competing offer.
