## Summary

NHS England commissioned specialist consultancy support to establish an apprenticeship pathway covering artificial intelligence and analyst apprenticeships across NHS organisations. This is a people and workforce development service, focused on creating a route into these specialist roles rather than supplying equipment or general apprenticeship training. The work is associated with London and England. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and workforce specialists able to help public-sector organisations develop structured apprenticeship pathways in AI and analysis.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MIAA (Mersey Internal Audit Agency) on 23 September 2026. The award value is £49,419. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. NHS England used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 18 September 2026 at 12:00. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable for the opportunity. The published procurement information does not state an evaluation basis or divide the requirement into lots.

The award demonstrates demand from NHS England for specialist support to create apprenticeship pathways spanning AI and analyst roles across NHS organisations. A credible future competitor would need the workforce-development expertise to shape an apprenticeship route and an understanding of the requirements of these technical job families in an NHS setting. The buying route was a framework call-off, so suppliers would also need access to a relevant framework to compete through the same route. The scope is focused on establishing the pathway, rather than delivering unrelated technology services.
