## Summary

NHS England, a central government public authority based in London, initiated a tender process titled "Learning & Development to Support Policy & Improvement in the NHS." This procurement was aimed at enhancing knowledge, skills, and capability among local NHS health and care leaders, aligning with NHS England's policy within the strategic framework of the forthcoming 10 Year Health Plan. The procurement process was executed using a direct method under a light-touch regime and was concluded as a non-competitive, below-threshold acquisition. The contract, awarded to NHS Confederation, a large VCSE entity, commenced on 3rd October 2025 and was originally set to conclude by 31st March 2026. Despite successful execution, the contract officially ended with a termination notice and was valued at £460,000 net.

This procurement presented a notable opportunity for large-scale organisations and service providers specialising in education and training sectors. Businesses with capabilities in delivering tailored learning and development services, particularly those experienced in the health sector, stood to benefit from this contract. While the tender did not involve competitive bidding, insight into the process and its successful execution by NHS Confederation could provide valuable business intelligence and strategic alignment for future similar opportunities in policy support and organisational development frameworks. The tender's completion illustrates the continuing demand for specialised service providers equipped to navigate public health improvement initiatives.
