## Summary

NHS England has completed a public procurement process for the "Cancer and Diagnostic - Pathology apprenticeships (ET1014)" programme, aiming to support the strategic growth and transformation of the workforce in line with its Long Term Workforce Plan. Based in London, the buying organisation pursued a direct procurement method under the Light Touch Regime, resulting in a non-competitive process due to its below-threshold status. The procurement category is services, specifically focused on education and training, and the process has moved to the award and contract stage with a contract period from 9th September 2025 to 31st March 2026. This initiative was awarded to Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, situated in Oxford.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in educational and training services within the healthcare industry, providing a chance to collaborate on enhancing workforce capacities through specialised apprenticeship programmes. Large-scale organisations with expertise in diagnostics and pathology training would find this engagement particularly beneficial, given the emphasis on developing future healthcare professionals in line with ambitious national workforce frameworks. Businesses aspiring to integrate their services with NHS strategic objectives may find substantial growth prospects through partnerships of this nature.
