UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned a national e-learning package to train frontline staff in collecting and recording ethnicity data consistently. The training supports the NHS England Ethnicity Recording Improvement Plan and aims to strengthen the evidence used to identify and address health inequalities. This is a health and workforce training service for frontline NHS staff, delivered nationally through an online learning package rather than a site-based service. The requirement centres on improving staff capability and consistency in ethnicity data coding and recording. The award was made to the Race Equality Foundation, a London-based supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. NHS England used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The process had one lot, which was completed. The Race Equality Foundation was selected for the contract, signed on 5 October 2026. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £40,231 excluding VAT (£47,978 including VAT). The stated purpose is a national online training package, with the evaluation basis and detailed participation requirements not described in the published process information.

For suppliers considering a comparable future requirement from NHS England, this award shows demand for nationally deployable online training that builds frontline staff capability in health data collection and coding. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate expertise in ethnicity data recording, practical training design for frontline healthcare staff, and the ability to deliver consistent e-learning at national scale. Understanding the NHS England Ethnicity Recording Improvement Plan and how better data supports work on health inequalities would help suppliers shape relevant content. The award went to a specialist race equality organisation, indicating that subject-matter credibility in race equality and ethnicity-related health issues is relevant alongside digital learning and workforce training capabilities.
