## Summary

NHS England is procuring specialist technical support for its cyber apprenticeship programme and just culture work. The requirement is focused on delivering agreed outcomes rather than general IT support, and covers specialist delivery assistance in these two areas. The procurement is categorised as technical support services (CPV 71356300). Work is associated with NHS England’s London operation at Wellington House on Waterloo Road, with delivery identified in London and across England. The selected provider is MIAA (Mersey Internal Audit Agency), based in Liverpool. This requirement will suit organisations with a focused offer in cyber skills development, apprenticeship delivery, organisational learning or just culture support in the NHS or comparable public-sector environments.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 17 August 2026. NHS England used a selective call-off from the Transforming Organisations, Partnerships and Systems (Consultancy Services) framework, with the award described as a proposed direct award to MIAA (Mersey Internal Audit Agency). MIAA received the active award at £69,768 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award covers the full stated requirement.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is a clear indication that NHS England purchases focused specialist support to deliver outcomes in cyber apprenticeships and just culture. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in both cyber-related apprenticeship delivery and the practical application of just culture principles, rather than a broad consultancy offer alone. Experience of working with NHS England, NHS bodies or similarly complex public-sector organisations would help demonstrate an understanding of regulated environments, workforce development and organisational change. Suppliers would also need to understand how to deliver through a consultancy framework call-off, including any framework eligibility and direct-award requirements.
