## Summary

NHS England has concluded the procurement process for the provision of a Masters in Public Health (MPH) course for its Public Health Registrars. This contract, awarded to The University of York, is classified under the services category, specifically education and training services. Located in York, UK, the course forms an essential component of a five-year Specialty Training Programme. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, below the threshold and without competition. The contract was signed on 18th June 2026 and will run from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2027, with a contract value of £45,600 gross (£38,000 net).

This tender presents opportunities for educational institutions capable of delivering specialised training programmes within the public health sector. With demand for specialised qualifications crucial for career progression within the NHS and local authorities, institutions offering similar qualifications stand to benefit from partnerships or future tenders. The University of York’s successful bid highlights the significance of expertise in education services and long-term programme delivery. Businesses operating in the education and training sector, especially those with capabilities to work alongside public health entities, may find similar opportunities to engage and expand their service portfolio within the public health education domain.

## Notice

To facilitate our newly appointed Public Health Registrars to undertake Masters based qualifications, an essential part of the Specialty Training Programme, which is delivered over 5 years. This will be facilitated by the York University. Essentially, a similar BC was produced for the very same purpose two years ago. This facilitated the issuing of Contract: C304421. This contract was then extended by one year in 2025. However, colleagues in Commercial Contracts have confirmed that there is no clause to allow a further extension. The 1st year of training is spent doing the MPH, supported by experience within a local authority. Without completion of the MPH, the Registrar is unable to complete the remainder of their training, which is a mandatory curriculum requirement (Faculty of Public Health). Once Public Health training is complete, individuals are eligible for specialist registration via the relevant professional body. They can then apply for consultant-level posts in local authorities, the NHS or other settings. This qualification can only be delivered by two HEIs within the YH region - University of Sheffield and York University. The funding is from a cost code already devolved internally. So, no 'new' monies are required.
