## Summary

The procurement process, managed by NHS England, involved awarding a contract to the University of Southampton for the provision of an MSc in Public Health course under the title "Wessex Public Health Specialty Training." NHS England completed the tender using an open procedure, and the procurement falls within the "Education and training services" category as per the CPV classification (80000000). The contract period spans from 23rd October 2024 until 22nd October 2028, with the tender process having been finalised on 13th June 2025. The course, intended to cater for up to eight training doctors annually, comes with a committed budget of £291,000 in GBP.

This procurement offers a stable, long-term opportunity for businesses involved in providing educational services relevant to public health and training. Large educational institutions such as universities are particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders, given their infrastructure and expertise in delivering specialised courses. While suitability requirements indicate the process may not be geared towards SMEs or VCSEs, businesses specialising in high-level health education and training can look to leverage such contracts for growth and expansion, potentially increasing educational service offerings or branching into new markets within the health sector.

## Notice

The current cost is PS10,400.00 per training doctor for the 11 month course starting in September 2024 each year. If 8 training doctors on the MSc each year this would equate to PS83,200.00 per year at the current costs.
