UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured health and safety training services for its CEFM staff. The requirement covered delivery of IOSH-accredited courses, within the broader category of professional training services (CPV 80500000). The work is associated with the Trust’s operations in Cambridge and delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a single-service requirement rather than a multi-lot programme: the procurement contained one lot. The buyer is a public healthcare organisation, so relevant providers are those able to deliver structured workplace health and safety training to NHS staff and meet the standards associated with IOSH-accredited courses. The opportunity concerns training delivery, not construction, equipment supply or general consultancy.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. One lot was awarded to Astutis Limited. The award is active and was made on 21 August 2026; the contract was signed on 21 August 2026. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 November 2026. Its value is £10,000 excluding VAT and £12,000 including VAT. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as health and safety training and the evaluation resulted in a single selected supplier. The contract is below the relevant threshold. Astutis Limited is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. No separate award values or additional lots are reported.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for short-term, IOSH-accredited health and safety training for CEFM staff. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need recognised capability to deliver IOSH-accredited courses, suitable trainers and course administration, and the capacity to train healthcare staff in an organisational setting. Experience of delivering workplace health and safety training to NHS or similarly regulated organisations would help demonstrate understanding of operational constraints, staff roles and compliance expectations. The award to an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist training provider rather than only by a large national contractor. Providers should be able to respond through the buyer’s below-threshold procurement route and manage a focused, single-lot service.
