Summary of the contracting process

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought a leadership development programme for the 2026/2027 financial year. The service is leadership training, delivered in the United Kingdom across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is for the Trust’s leadership development needs; the published scope does not describe specific courses, participant numbers or delivery formats. The programme falls within training services and is a single, unbroken requirement rather than separate lots.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust awarded the work directly to Trans 2 Performance Limited, without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its stated value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. One lot covered the programme. The published procurement information gives no scored evaluation criteria or comparative selection basis; the supplier was selected through the direct award route. Trans 2 Performance Limited is the named supplier for the whole requirement.

This award shows that Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust purchases leadership development as a defined annual training service, with delivery across multiple English regions. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to provide leadership training suited to an NHS hospital trust and be able to deliver across the stated geographic spread. The selected supplier is a large training provider, indicating that the work was awarded to an established business, although the procurement gives no specific accreditation, staffing, course design or prior-experience requirements. Suppliers should therefore assess whether they can demonstrate relevant leadership-development capability and deliver consistently across the locations covered, rather than assume the contract requires a particular qualification or training format.
