## Summary

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) has completed a procurement process, awarding a contract to Cardiff University for the provision of a Master's in Public Health (MPH) qualification. This contract is directed at resident doctors involved in the Public Health Training Scheme in Wales and represents a necessary part of their specialty training. The procurement was conducted via a direct award, given Cardiff University's unique position as the sole provider capable of fulfilling these requirements within South Wales. The contract is valued at £151,140 and spans from 1st September 2026 to 31st October 2029. This service falls under the education and training industry category, focusing on enhancing public health education within the region.

This contract provides significant opportunities for Cardiff University to bolster its role as a leading educational institution in public health, potentially leading to expanded courses and training offerings. While the procurement process was direct due to Cardiff University’s unique qualifications, other educational entities may consider exploring niche areas for future collaborations with central government authorities like HEIW. Specialised service providers in public health education could learn from this procurement to identify areas where unique offerings could position them similarly for direct awards. This type of opportunity suits large educational organisations with the capacity to fulfil highly specialised and geographically specific educational services.

## Notice

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) intends to award a contract to Cardiff University for the provision of a Master of Public Health (MPH) qualification for resident doctors undertaking the Public Health Training Scheme in Wales. The programme is a mandatory component of specialty training and supports trainees in achieving curriculum requirements and progression to qualification. Cardiff University is the only appropriate provider for this requirement in South Wales. This Agreement is non-committal and does not guarantee any maximum level of spend.

### Procurement Information

Cardiff University is the only appropriate provider of the Master of Public Health (MPH) qualification for resident doctors appointed to Public Health Training Scheme posts based in South Wales. The qualification is a mandatory component of specialty training and is required to enable trainees to meet curriculum requirements and achieve a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT). Previous arrangements have been in place with Cardiff University and no suitable alternative in-person provider is available within South Wales. The direct award is therefore justified on technical grounds and the absence of competition for this specific requirement.
