UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured continuing professional development (CPD) courses and staff training services for its Teeside programme. The requirement is for education and training services, supporting the Trust’s workforce through structured professional development delivered by Teeside University. The buying organisation is Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, based in Basildon. Delivery is associated with Teeside University’s campus in Middlesbrough, so suppliers would need to understand the needs of NHS staff and provide suitable training through a university or comparable educational setting. The scope is focused on staff training courses rather than the supply of goods, construction, clinical treatment or general consultancy. This is a service requirement for an NHS foundation trust and may suit organisations with established education, professional development or workforce-training provision.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. Teeside University was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The award is for one lot covering the CPD and staff training requirement. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender: the route was a below-threshold direct award without competition. The arrangement therefore represents a completed procurement decision rather than an opportunity to submit a bid for this contract.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for externally delivered CPD and staff training courses. Suppliers considering future work with the Trust would need credible capability in education and professional development, with course content and delivery suited to NHS staff. Experience of designing or delivering structured workplace learning would be relevant, particularly where training can be provided through an established university, further-education provider or specialist training organisation. A credible competitor would also need to demonstrate reliable course administration, appropriately qualified teaching or training staff, and the capacity to support the required programme across its delivery period. The awarded supplier’s profile shows that a large higher-education institution can meet this type of requirement, so organisations competing in future should be able to evidence comparable institutional capacity and educational expertise.
