## Summary

NHS England has concluded a procurement process for "Exam Support Packages for EoE GP Registrars," a contract focusing on education and training services. The contract, awarded to Egton Medical Information Systems Limited (EMIS) trading as Optum, is part of a short-term measure under the Education and Training Light Touch Regime. The process was handled without competition below the threshold, aiming to ensure continuity while a broader procurement is prepared by the Royal College of General Practitioners. Located in London, with the buyer and supplier based in different parts of the UK, the contract commenced on 2nd September 2026 and is scheduled to run until 1st September 2027.

This opportunity primarily serves providers in the education and training sector, specifically those with expertise in exam preparation resources. The contract, valued at £72,673.20 (excluding VAT), offers businesses engaged in developing educational tools and resources the chance to collaborate with a key public authority - NHS England. Although this contract is concluded, similar opportunities may arise as the healthcare sector continues to procure services aligned with educational and professional development needs. Companies specialising in educational solutions and with the capacity for rapid deployment would find such engagements particularly beneficial for growth and meaningful collaboration with the NHS.

## Notice

Sub-Threshold direct award under the Education and Training Light Touch Regime. This is a 12-month contract to provide GP trainees with access to the AKT Toolkit, an exam preparation resource linked to the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) e-portfolio, supporting exam readiness through practice questions and personalised learning insights. This is a short-term contract to maintain service continuity pending the RCGP-led national procurement expected next year. These services are being put in place as a short-term measure to avoid duplication of effort, ahead of a wider procurement. These services are categorised as education and training services (CPV Code: 800000000) which are subject to the light touch regime (LTR). The LTR has a current threshold of PS663K (inc VAT) and this contract value is therefore sub-threshold. The proposed supplier is Egton Medical Information Systems Limited (EMIS) (Trading as Optum). The contract will be on standard NHS Terms and conditions for the provision of service (PO varient).
