Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned education and training services for the final implementation phase of its national pre-registration paramedic curriculum reform programme. The work is specifically to endorse pre-registration paramedic curricula, supporting the programme’s final phase after a decade of development and delivery. NHS England is the buying organisation. The procurement is for a single requirement, rather than a set of separately described lots, and the contract is held by the Royal College of Paramedics. The curriculum reform is national in scope, although the procurement data does not identify a particular delivery location. This is a specialist education and professional standards requirement within paramedic training, rather than general training provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to the Royal College of Paramedics. NHS England used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, for six months. Its value is £30,000. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded award covers education and training services and relates to one lot. No separate evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are recorded. The stated purpose is to support the final implementation phase of the national curriculum reform programme; this is the basis for understanding the commissioned work, rather than a published competitive scoring model.

For suppliers assessing future work in this specific area, the award demonstrates NHS England’s demand for specialist support in endorsing pre-registration paramedic curricula as part of national reform implementation. A credible competitor would need expertise in paramedic education and curriculum standards, together with the ability to support a national programme at its final implementation stage. The selected supplier was the Royal College of Paramedics, indicating that professional knowledge of the paramedic sector is central to this requirement. The work is focused and time-bounded, so suppliers would need to deliver a defined endorsement contribution efficiently rather than provide broad, ongoing training services. NHS England used a direct award without competition for this contract; the data does not establish a recurring competitive route.
