## Summary

NHS Business Services Authority commissioned a specialist training service for NHS Pensions. The requirement was for a supplier to provide quality coach training, described in the contract as Practitioner Quality Check Training, for a short-term programme. The service supports quality checking and coaching activity within the NHS Pensions environment. Delivery covered the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the NHS Business Services Authority, a central government public authority based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The procurement was categorised as a service, with the associated classification referring to pension fund management services. This is therefore relevant to providers of professional training, quality assurance, coaching, or specialist pensions-related operational support that can work with public-sector pension administration teams and deliver consistently across a UK-wide setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. KPMG LLP was selected as the supplier, with an active award; the contract was signed and began on 13 July 2026. The contract runs to 31 October 2026, covering an approximately three-and-a-half-month period. Its value is £47,500 excluding VAT, or £57,000 including VAT. The award relates to the single requirement for NHS Pensions quality coach and practitioner quality-check training. The recorded route was a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and contract value, but does not set out a scored evaluation formula or separate quality and price weightings.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Business Services Authority for short, focused quality-training support within NHS Pensions. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would combine practical coaching capability with experience of quality checking, practitioner assessment, and structured training delivery. Credibility would be strengthened by understanding pension administration operations and the controls needed in a regulated public-service environment. A suitable competitor would need to mobilise quickly for a defined programme, provide trainers who can work with operational teams, and maintain consistent standards across UK delivery. Professional services firms, specialist learning providers, pension-sector consultancies, and quality-assurance businesses with relevant NHS or public-sector experience could use this requirement as a benchmark for the expertise and delivery discipline expected by this buyer.
