UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned a DDaT Learning Library: a curated collection of existing free third-party learning resources for the digital, data and technology workforce. The work is to find and organise suitable resources, then test and validate them for quality and usability, presenting the collection in an intuitive format on the NHS Futures workspace. Its purpose is to help NHS staff quickly find and access learning that supports capability building. This is a digital learning-content curation and quality-assurance service, rather than the creation of a new training course or the purchase of paid learning materials. The buyer is NHS England. The work concerns a resource collection hosted on NHS Futures; no physical delivery site is stated.

The procurement is complete: NHS England selected EL Healthcare Education, and the resulting contract is active and signed. The award was made through a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot covered the DDaT Learning Library service. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 29 September to 29 December 2026. Its stated value is £56,900 excluding VAT (£68,280 including VAT). The published outcome records an active award and contract, but provides no separate award date or evaluation criteria, so the selection basis cannot be described further. The purchase is classified as a service; the associated health-services code does not change the described scope of curating and quality-assuring digital learning resources.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future requirement, this award demonstrates demand for a short, focused service combining learning-resource discovery, curation, testing and quality validation with practical presentation on NHS Futures. Credible competitors would need to show they can identify useful existing third-party material, assess its quality and relevance to digital, data and technology capability development, and organise it so NHS users can find and access it easily. Experience in healthcare workforce learning or in supporting NHS users would be relevant to demonstrating fit with the audience and purpose. The delivery model depends on effective digital content organisation and user-centred navigation, rather than producing a new course or supplying paid resources. The award also shows the requirement was handled through a limited competition below the applicable threshold.
