## Summary

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust procured education and training services for two Tissue Viability (Professional Practice) MSc places. The requirement covers course fees for postgraduate study, supporting professional development in tissue viability practice. Birmingham City University was selected to provide the service. Delivery is associated with South East England, while the buying trust is based at Trinity House in Ashford, Kent. This opportunity is therefore relevant to universities and specialist higher-education providers able to deliver postgraduate tissue viability education for NHS staff, rather than to suppliers of clinical equipment, general training, or direct patient-care services. The requirement is focused on a defined academic course and a small number of places, with the selected provider responsible for supplying the education service to the trust.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It consisted of one lot and the tender status is complete. Birmingham City University holds the active award. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 14 August 2026 to 1 September 2031. Its value is £16,200 excluding VAT, or £19,440 including VAT. The award covers the Tissue Viability (Professional Practice) MSc course-fee requirement. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The available record identifies education and training services as the relevant service category. The award is linked to the single lot, and the contract remains active for the stated period.

This procurement demonstrates a long-term NHS requirement for specialist postgraduate education in tissue viability, delivered through an established university provider. Competitors would need credible capability to provide the named Professional Practice MSc course, or an equivalent specialist academic service, and to support NHS learners through the required period. Relevant suppliers are likely to be universities or higher-education organisations with expertise in tissue viability, professional healthcare education and postgraduate course administration. They would also need sufficient academic capacity to accommodate the required places and maintain delivery standards over a multi-year arrangement. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition indicates that future opportunities of this type may be suited to providers already able to demonstrate a close fit with the clinical subject, course structure and NHS professional-development context.
