## Summary

NHS England has concluded a public procurement process titled "Cancer and Diagnostic - Practice Education (Pathology) (ET1007)," which falls under the services category within the education and training industry. The procurement was conducted under the Light Touch Regime, with a direct procurement method without competitive bidding, and is based on legal provisions enacted in 2023. The award for this contract was made to the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Oxford, United Kingdom, with the contract covering the period from 14th October 2025 to 31st March 2026. This initiative aligns with the strategic objectives of NHS England to bolster workforce development in line with their Long Term Workforce Plan and 10 Year Plan ambitions. The procurement stage has progressed to award, with the completion of all relevant procedures as of January 2026.

This procurement offers growth opportunities primarily for large-scale services providers within the education and training sector, especially those specialising in practice education in pathology. Businesses with the capability to support bespoke workforce transformation and expansion initiatives in line with NHS strategic priorities may find similar procurement opportunities to be a platform for expanding their service offerings and client portfolio.
