UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business and Trade procured professional services for the NHS Export Catalyst Programme. The work involves delivering workshops to NHS staff so they can develop core competencies across five key business development areas. This is a business development and export-support service rather than a supply of goods or construction work. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged by the Department for Business and Trade, a central government department. The named service classification is miscellaneous business-related services (CPV 79990000). The requirement was organised as a single lot and concerns the delivery of a defined workshop programme for NHS personnel, with the emphasis on building practical capability in business development and exporting.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to Health Tech Enterprise Limited, an SME, and the contract was signed on 2 September 2026. It runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £18,000 excluding VAT and £21,600 including VAT. The process used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. It comprised one lot, which is complete, and the resulting contract is active. The published information identifies the selected supplier and the agreed contract period and value. There is no competitive evaluation basis set out for this direct award.

This procurement shows demand for specialist professional services that can design and deliver structured workshops for NHS staff, with a focus on export capability and five core business development areas. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience in business development training, export support and workshop delivery, together with the ability to translate those subjects into practical learning for NHS personnel. It would also need sufficient delivery capacity to run a coherent programme across the United Kingdom and to work effectively with a central government buyer. The award to an SME indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider, rather than only by a large consultancy.
