Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned specialist learning and development services to develop and finalise online leadership and management learning modules. The modules support staff development against NHS leadership framework competencies, complement existing development offers and provide accessible, scalable learning for leaders and managers. They are intended to cover a range of needs across leadership levels, with learning targeted to individuals’ self-assessed development needs. The initial focus is on modules for Stage 1 and Stage 2 leaders and managers. This is education and training work. NHS England is the buying organisation; the data does not identify a delivery location, so the scope is best understood as digital learning content for NHS staff rather than a place-based service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. NHS England used a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, Liz Saunders Consulting Ltd, was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £90,000 excluding VAT and £118,800 including VAT. The stated objective was to develop and finalise the learning modules in line with the leadership framework’s standards and competencies, covering Stage 1 and Stage 2 leaders and managers initially. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process details.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need specialist learning and development expertise, with the ability to produce and refine online modules aligned to an established leadership framework. The work requires understanding leadership and management competencies and translating them into relevant learning for NHS staff at different levels. Suppliers should be able to make content accessible and scalable, complement existing development provision, and support a range of learning needs identified through self-assessment. Experience designing targeted digital learning, rather than generic training alone, would be relevant. The selected supplier’s appointment shows that NHS England has bought this specialist capability through a limited competition, on a focused, short-term piece of work. The requirement centres on content development and finalisation for Stage 1 and Stage 2 leaders and managers.

NHS Leadership and Management E-Learning Content

Notice Description

To support the successful implementation of the Framework, and for staff to support their development against these competencies, a suite of corresponding online learning modules is in the process of being created. These will complement existing development offers where in place, and will be accessible, scalable, and aligned to the Framework standards and competencies, offering a range of options for leaders and managers to access the relevant developmental learning modules, meeting the needs identified via their self-assessment. This ensures that the learning is both relevant and targeted to specific areas of individual need, whilst covering the full range of potential learning needs across all levels of leaders and managers.
