## Summary

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured continuing professional development (CPD) and staff training courses for the 2026/27 period. The requirement is classified as education and training services. The buying organisation is based in Basildon, Essex, and the selected provider is the University of Hertfordshire, based in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The procurement is centred on organised training for NHS trust staff, with delivery by a higher education institution. Businesses relevant to this requirement are providers of professional development, staff learning and structured training courses, particularly those able to support an NHS foundation trust’s workforce development needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to the University of Hertfordshire. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The single lot is complete. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT, or £18,000 including VAT. The award covers education and training services for the CPD and staff training courses. The process was therefore concluded through a non-competitive route rather than an open tender, and the published outcome identifies the University of Hertfordshire as the active contracted supplier.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from an NHS foundation trust for externally provided CPD and staff training courses, sourced through a higher education provider. Suppliers likely to be well placed for a future requirement of this kind would offer structured professional development and workforce training, with course content and delivery suitable for NHS staff. Credibility would come from demonstrable ability to provide organised education and training services at institutional scale, rather than from supplying physical products. Universities, colleges, specialist training organisations and established learning providers with relevant CPD programmes could use this contract as evidence of the buyer’s purchasing pattern and the type of provider selected.
