## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by NHS England, a central government public authority, to find a supplier to deliver Python Programming in Genomics for NHS Bioinformaticians, including a Train the Trainer programme. This project falls under the education and training services category and is located in London, United Kingdom. The process was conducted using an open procurement method, classified under a light touch regime, and was indeed a below-threshold open competition. The contract, awarded to QA, began on 4th September 2025 and will run until 3rd September 2028, with a gross value of £169,722. It has recently completed all relevant stages, with the award and contract formalised by the start of September 2025.

This tender creates opportunities for business growth, focusing on companies skilled in delivering educational and training services, specifically those related to genomics and bioinformatics. Large-scale suppliers such as QA, with experience in similar contracts, are particularly well-suited to engage in such competitive tenders. However, there was notable participation from small and medium enterprises (SMEs), highlighting the potential for diverse business engagement within the sector. An open competition encourages a range of suppliers to participate, promoting innovation and collaboration for businesses looking to expand their training service offerings to public health bodies like NHS England.
