Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust procured a leadership and development programme as a training service. The programme is intended to support leadership and professional development within the Trust, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as a single service lot and covers the programme rather than goods, construction or clinical treatment. It is relevant to organisations that design and deliver structured leadership training, development programmes and related learning services for NHS or other public-sector workforces. The named buyer is University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, based at Royal Derby Hospital in Derby. The service classification is training programme services (CPV 80521000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the published method is recorded as unknown. One supplier was selected: LUCID (THE CLEARER GROUP) LIMITED. The award was for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 1 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £18,180 excluding VAT, or £21,816 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement description identifies the requirement as a leadership and development programme for this contract period. The available outcome records identify the selected supplier and contract value, but do not set out an award scoring split or other evaluation weighting.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a major NHS foundation trust for a defined leadership and development programme delivered as a public-sector training service. It is commercially relevant to specialist learning and development providers with the ability to design and run structured leadership programmes for healthcare staff and organisational teams. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a clear programme model, suitable trainers and facilitators, and the operational capacity to deliver consistently across the buyer’s workforce. Experience of working with NHS or comparable public-sector organisations would help demonstrate understanding of governance, workforce needs and delivery constraints. The award to an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only a large training business.
