NHS England has completed a direct procurement process for "Adult Critical Care Training for Pharmacists (Lot 1)", involving the provision of education and training services specifically aimed at enhancing the skills of adult critical care pharmacy teams. The contract was awarded to University College London SOP and includes the delivery of training for two cohorts, totalling 138 learners, between September 2025 and March 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses involved in providing specialised educational services or keen to partner with central government authorities like NHS England. Organisations specialising in healthcare training, particularly those with the capability to meet stringent standards in critical care environments, would be ideally positioned to seek out similar opportunities in the public sector.
