## Summary

NHS England is initiating a procurement process for indemnity cover for resident doctors across multiple specialties, including general practitioners and potentially Dental Public Health. This Request for Information (RFI) is currently in the planning stage with NHS England seeking early supplier input to shape the future delivery model of this service, which falls under the services category with a focus on education and training. The procurement location is based in London, UK, with a deadline for submitting completed RFI documents set for Thursday, 30th July 2026 at 17:00. The process will be managed through the Atamis e-sourcing portal, and NHS England reserves the right to change timelines as necessary.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to secure a contract that extends from 4th August 2027 to 3rd August 2030, with potential for renewal. Given the focus on indemnity cover, businesses specialising in healthcare insurance or legal indemnity services would be well-suited to compete. The procurement method calls for a collaborative approach with suppliers, aiming to gather comprehensive input to ensure a robust delivery model, thereby opening avenues for innovative solutions and partnerships in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

Deadline to upload and submit your completed RFI document is Thursday 30th July 2026 at 17:00hrs. Any supplier who chooses not to respond to this RFI (Request for Information) will not be disadvantaged by deciding not to do so.
