## Summary

The procurement process led by NHS England focuses on the provision of Data Analytics Specialism Education as part of the Graduate Management Training Scheme (GMTS). This initiative is categorised under education and training services and operates within the UK's geographical area, with NHS England functioning as the buying organisation. The tender, with an ID of C251624, progressed from planning to the award stage. The award was granted on 12th July 2025, to University College London (UCL), marking the completion of this procurement cycle. The contract was activated using an open procurement method, aligning with the legal basis set by the EU directive 32014L0024.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for educational institutions specialising in data analytics and professional education services. The emphasis on creating a stable provision of this specialism as part of the GMTS aims to establish ongoing partnerships with suppliers. Businesses that can offer cutting-edge curricula and have the expertise to develop future NHS leaders would find this contract beneficial. Given the competitive bidding environment with a focus on price, small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions in education services are well-positioned to compete for similar future opportunities within NHS education provisions.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The provision of professional education subject matter in respect of this specialism as part of the overall Graduate Management Training Scheme (GMTS) offering. We are suggesting a term of up to 6 cohorts, with cohorts spanning up to 30 months*, commencing in the September of each financial year. The first cohort that this procurement would cover would be that starting September 2024. We hope that by securing a longer term with a new provider will allow the scheme stability in provision of this specialism. This pays into efficiencies around marketing and attraction to this particular specialism of the scheme going forward, and forging lasting relationships with incumbent suppliers to the scheme.

Options: Option to extend for up to 36 months
