UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured continuing professional development (CPD) staff training courses funded through Health Education England for medical education. The service is education and training provision, delivered for Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The work covers staff development rather than the supply of goods or construction. Delivery spans England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is based in Basildon, while the selected provider is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement is therefore relevant to organisations that provide structured professional training and CPD courses for NHS or wider healthcare staff across multiple English regions.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. It used the light-touch regime and was evaluated through the direct-award route. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026, runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, and is valued at £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT). Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer. The award is active and the contract is active. This outcome shows that the buyer appointed a named NHS trust for the CPD course requirement rather than running a competitive tender, so the procurement route and award decision are already concluded.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this procurement indicates a requirement for organised CPD and staff training courses in a healthcare setting, funded through the NHS medical education system. A credible competitor would need to design or deliver professional development that is suitable for NHS staff, demonstrate relevant education and training capability, and support delivery across a wide English footprint. The selected provider was a large NHS foundation trust, suggesting that institutional credibility, access to appropriately qualified educators and familiarity with NHS operational requirements may be important. Providers with established healthcare training infrastructure, recognised subject expertise and the capacity to coordinate courses for staff across several regions would be well placed when this buyer’s requirement next reaches the market.
