## Summary

NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit procured professional qualification courses for its workforce through its commissioning support operations. The requirement is for education and training services, covering professional qualification provision rather than general training. Delivery is across the South East and South West of England. The buyer is based in Eastleigh, Hampshire. The service category is suitable for organisations that design, administer and deliver recognised professional qualifications, including providers able to support learners across more than one regional area. The selected supplier, QA Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by an established specialist training provider rather than only by a large national organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit selected QA Limited on 4 August 2026. The award value is £70,000. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract was let as a selective call-off from the Government Commercial Agency RM6219 Dynamic Purchasing System for Learning and Training Services, rather than as a standalone open tender. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at noon. It was classified as a services procurement and marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The outcome is an active award to QA Limited.

For providers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined public-sector demand for professional qualification courses within NHS commissioning support services. A credible future competitor would need a structured portfolio of professional qualifications, experienced tutors or assessors, robust learner administration and the capacity to deliver consistently across the South East and South West. Familiarity with public-sector purchasing through a dynamic purchasing system would be commercially important, including the ability to respond to individual call-offs under a learning and training services framework. The successful supplier's SME status shows that specialist smaller providers can compete, provided they can demonstrate dependable delivery, suitable quality controls and sufficient coverage for a multi-region NHS customer.
