Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned end-of-life training courses for foundation doctors in the East Midlands. The programme supports the two-year generic postgraduate training provided to F1 and F2 doctors in the LNR Foundation School, covering doctors employed by hospital trusts in Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Nottingham. NHS England is responsible for delivering medical and dental postgraduate training across the region, and the courses form part of its wider programme of generic skills training for foundation doctors.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Leicestershire & Rutland Hospice (LOROS) was selected through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026 and runs from 21 October 2026 to 20 September 2027. Its value is £22,414.54 excluding VAT (£26,897.45 including VAT). The procurement was arranged as one lot.

For suppliers considering comparable future requirements from NHS England, this award demonstrates demand for end-of-life training within postgraduate medical education for foundation doctors in the East Midlands. A credible competitor would need to deliver relevant courses for F1 and F2 doctors as part of a broader generic skills programme, and serve the hospital trusts across Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Nottingham. The selection of Leicestershire & Rutland Hospice shows that a hospice provider was judged suitable for this requirement.
