## Summary

NHS England has completed a procurement process for "Mechanical Thrombectomy Cadaveric Training," aimed at enhancing the skill set of healthcare professionals through training academies in England. This initiative, led by Keele University and approved by the General Medical Council, spans a contract period from April 2025 to March 2029, with a total procurement value of £1,505,952. The procurement was conducted via a limited, negotiated procedure without prior publication, with an award status marked as active on 9th June 2025. This contract falls under the education and training services category (CPV: 80000000) and serves multiple locations, including the United Kingdom and beyond.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses within the education and training services sector, particularly those specializing in medical or healthcare training. Companies capable of supporting neurosurgeons, cardiologists, and stroke physicians with specialised training facilities can find growth prospects and collaborative opportunities. Although suitability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) was not flagged, entities with strategic capabilities to deliver high-quality educational services in diverse locations will be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders.

This initiative will help ensure the provision of 24/7 stroke thrombectomy services across the UK.
