## Summary

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust bought continuing professional development (CPD) staff training courses from The Royal College of Surgeons of England. The requirement covers education and training services for the Trust’s staff, under the programme titled “CPD Courses 26/27 Royal College of Surgeons”. The work is associated with the Trust’s operations in Basildon, Essex, while the supplier is based in London. This is a professional training opportunity focused on surgical education and staff development rather than the supply of goods, construction or general facilities services. Organisations able to provide structured CPD courses, professional education and training for NHS or clinical staff would be operating in the relevant market.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The Royal College of Surgeons of England on 16 July 2026. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition, using the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £20,000 excluding VAT, or £24,000 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the CPD courses and staff training services, and that lot was completed. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded legal basis is the Procurement Act 2023, with the procurement treated as a services requirement evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from an NHS foundation trust for externally delivered CPD and staff training, with a focus on courses supplied by a recognised surgical professional body. A future competitor would need credible subject expertise in surgical or clinical education, the ability to design and deliver structured professional development courses, and experience supporting healthcare staff. Understanding NHS training environments, professional learning needs and the practical constraints of clinical work would strengthen a supplier’s position. Providers should also be able to demonstrate reliable course administration, appropriately qualified tutors and a clear approach to maintaining educational quality. The successful supplier’s profile indicates that specialist institutional credibility and professional training capability are important for this buyer and requirement.
