## Summary

This procurement process involves Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) awarding a contract to the University of Liverpool to provide a Master of Public Health (MPH) qualification. The process is set in the education and training services industry and targets resident doctors in North Wales, focusing on their Public Health Specialty Training Scheme. The procurement stage is complete, with the direct award justified on technical grounds as no suitable alternative providers exist within the necessary geographical area. The contract commences on 1st September 2026 and concludes on 31st October 2028, addressing the specific regulatory and educational needs of the trainees.

This tender creates opportunities for growth for large-scale educational institutions that specialise in public health and offer unique in-person programmes tailored to specific training requirements.

The direct procurement method highlights opportunities for businesses that can meet precise educational and location-based requirements, presenting a significant advantage for those with established, specialised expertise in delivering mandatory qualifications to healthcare professionals.

## Notice

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) intends to award a contract to the University of Liverpool for the provision of a Master of Public Health (MPH) qualification for resident doctors undertaking the Public Health Specialty Training Scheme in Wales. The MPH qualification is a mandatory component of specialty training and enables trainees to achieve curriculum learning outcomes, meet regulatory requirements, and progress towards a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT). The University of Liverpool is the only appropriate provider for trainees appointed to Public Health Training Scheme posts based in North Wales. No suitable alternative provider offering an equivalent in-person programme within a suitable geographical location has been identified. The direct award is therefore justified on technical grounds, as only the University of Liverpool can meet the specific educational, curriculum and geographical requirements of this training programme. This Agreement is non-committal and does not guarantee any maximum level of spend.
