## Summary

NHS England commissioned higher education and training services from The University of Manchester to support the Public Health training programme. The requirement covers MSc in Public Health fees and associated course delivery for London Public Health trainees. A number of trainees need to complete a one-year MSc as part of their professional training and curriculum requirements. The work is therefore centred on providing an appropriate postgraduate public health course, rather than general education services. Delivery is for NHS England’s London-based public health training programme, with the University of Manchester acting as the selected education provider. The procurement concerns education and training services, classified under CPV 80000000.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The University of Manchester under one completed lot. NHS England used a below-threshold direct award without competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 14 July 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £12,000. The contract is active. The stated purpose was to meet Public Health training curriculum requirements, with the award covering the MSc fees and related provision. Performance is assessed through course delivery measures covering training uptake, course feedback and trainee progress, with observations recorded over three-month periods. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded for this direct award.

This procurement demonstrates demand from NHS England for specialist postgraduate public health education linked to workforce training. Suppliers considering similar requirements would need to provide an MSc-level public health programme capable of meeting an NHS curriculum, supporting trainees through a structured course and delivering the associated educational administration. Credibility would depend on recognised academic capacity, suitable teaching and assessment arrangements, and the ability to monitor uptake, learner feedback and trainee progress. A university or specialist education provider with established public health expertise, experience of professional training cohorts and reliable course-performance reporting would be well placed. The requirement also shows that NHS England may use a direct, below-threshold route for a focused education service.
