UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stockport NHS Foundation Trust is procuring coaching services for its organisation. The requirement falls within coaching, education and training services and is intended for a supplier able to provide structured coaching support to the Trust. Delivery is reserved for organisations based in Greater Manchester, including small and medium-sized enterprises, voluntary, community and social enterprises. The buying organisation is Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, based at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport. This opportunity is therefore relevant to coaching providers and organisations delivering professional development or training services in Greater Manchester, particularly smaller or community-focused providers that can meet the Trust’s specification. The procurement covers one service requirement rather than separate published work packages.

The procurement reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 4 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers had to be submitted by 7 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the Atamis e-sourcing portal, using project reference C466969. The contract is planned to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with renewal or extension options allowing one-, three- or five-year contract options, up to 30 September 2031. The published tender value is £0 gross, in GBP. Award is based on price after the supplier has complied with the specification. The competition is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits coaching providers, training organisations and smaller enterprises operating in Greater Manchester. Participation is expressly reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises located in the area, so local providers that can deliver the required coaching service may be well placed to compete. The key commercial requirement is compliance with the Trust’s specification followed by price evaluation. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate that their proposed coaching provision meets the stated requirements and can be delivered for the Trust’s needs. The contract structure offers flexibility through one-, three- and five-year options, including extension periods, which may suit providers able to support the service over different durations. No particular accreditation or qualification is stated in the procurement data.
