Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned access to a critical care course for nine members of its staff. The requirement is for education and training services, with Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust selected to provide the course. The procurement concerns staff attendance and training rather than the purchase of clinical equipment or delivery of patient care. Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the buying organisation, and the supplier is another NHS trust based in Leeds. The course is intended for the buyer’s workforce; the published information does not identify a separate delivery venue.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The contract was signed on 30 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £23,444.82. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is in progress. The information identifies the requirement as access to the course for nine staff, but gives no separate award date or detailed scoring criteria. The procurement is for services and was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023.

For a supplier hoping to compete for a similar requirement from Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the relevant capability is delivering or arranging critical care training for NHS staff. The buyer’s requirement covered a defined cohort of nine employees, indicating a focused staff-training commission rather than a large-scale service. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust was selected, showing that an NHS provider was able to meet the requirement; a future competitor would need a credible course offer, suitable clinical education expertise and the capacity to accommodate staff attendance. This award provides evidence of the buyer’s demand for critical care education through a limited competition. Providers with relevant healthcare training experience and the ability to serve NHS workforce needs are the closest match.
