UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned virtual career-planning workshops for Foundation Year 1 (F1) doctors in the East Midlands. The service is intended to support foundation residents with career planning, through workshops delivered online across one day. This is an education and training service, rather than a clinical service or a general training programme. The stated scope is regional and focused on F1 foundation residents; the workshops are to be delivered virtually, so no in-person delivery location is identified. Doctors Training Limited was selected to provide the service. The procurement is a single-lot requirement, covering the career workshops as one package.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Doctors Training Limited, which signed the contract on 28 September 2026. The award is active. The contract runs from 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2027, with an option for a further 12 months, subject to budget and the buyer’s need for consistency; the maximum period extends to 15 November 2028. The contract value is £50,600 excluding VAT and £60,720 including VAT. NHS England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The available process details do not set out an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from NHS England for focused, virtual career-planning workshops for F1 foundation doctors in the East Midlands. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver structured career-planning support remotely, organise an effective one-day workshop format, and demonstrate a clear understanding of the needs of doctors at the start of their foundation training. The selected supplier is a small training business, indicating that this kind of service can be delivered by a specialist provider rather than only a large, multi-service contractor. The requirement is a contained education and training service, with continuity and budget considerations relevant to any extension. Providers with relevant medical training expertise and the capacity to serve this regional cohort would be well placed to compete if similar work returns to market.
