## Summary

The Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located in Swindon, has completed the procurement process for securing off-site training facilities. The tender involved a direct procurement method, conducted below the threshold without competition, for educational and training services in the healthcare sector. The contract award to New College Swindon includes the licensing of three training rooms, enabling the effective continuation of staff training from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2027, with the potential for extension until 2028, subject to CPD funding. The contracting authority finalised the agreement on 27th February 2026, and the contract period allows for a renewal option up to 12 months, providing flexibility in planning future training schedules.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale education providers or organisations specialising in healthcare training services. It is well-suited for enterprises capable of offering quality training environments for professional development programs, focusing on healthcare worker inductions and community training sessions. The deal marks an opportunity for businesses to connect with public authorities like NHS Foundation Trusts, facilitating partnerships that can expand their service offerings in the public sector. Moreover, the option for contract renewal could ensure long-term collaboration and stable revenue streams.

## Notice

The Great Western Hospital (GWH) delivers a broad range of academy training courses and developmental programmes to support staff professional development, including healthcare support worker inductions, safeguarding, and community training.

This arrangement is funded through the CPD budget and enables GWH to continue providing essential staff training in an appropriate learning environment.
