Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust procured mock inquest courses for its staff. This is specialist training, intended to prepare NHS personnel for inquest proceedings through simulated exercises. The buyer is the Trust, based in Doncaster. The listed delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific training venue is identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Browne Jacobson LLP without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award is recorded as pending. The award date is not stated. The award value is £13,500 excluding VAT (£16,200 including VAT). The contract period runs from 9 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement was divided into one lot, covering the mock inquest courses. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out in the available procurement details.

This award shows demand from the Trust for specialist mock inquest training for NHS staff. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work for this buyer would need credible expertise in inquest proceedings and the ability to design and deliver realistic training exercises for healthcare personnel. Browne Jacobson LLP, a large legal services firm, was selected through a direct award, so a future competitor would need a strong case for its relevant legal and training capability and the capacity to deliver the courses within the required contract period. The requirement is a focused staff-training service rather than a broad programme of general NHS training.
