## Summary

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured staff continuing professional development courses for dietetic staff. The requirement covers education and training services, specifically CPD courses delivered by the British Dietetic Association. The buyer is the NHS Foundation Trust serving Mid and South Essex, with the procurement managed from Basildon. The selected provider is a specialist professional body for dietetics, indicating that the work is focused on structured learning and professional development rather than general training provision. Businesses relevant to this requirement include organisations that design and deliver accredited or professionally recognised dietetic education, provide specialist clinical training, or support the continuing development of NHS dietetic teams. The procurement is classified as education and training services under CPV 80000000.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to the British Dietetic Association. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 16 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. There was one completed lot and one active award. The published outcome identifies the British Dietetic Association as the supplier for the staff training courses. The award route means the opportunity was evaluated through a non-competitive below-threshold process rather than an open tender with competing bids.

This award shows that Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust purchases specialist CPD training for dietetic staff from a recognised professional organisation. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable expertise in dietetics, the ability to develop or deliver clinically relevant continuing professional development, and trainers who understand NHS practice and workforce needs. Professional credibility, quality assurance and a clear educational structure would be important when competing for a similar requirement. Providers may also need the capacity to organise courses for healthcare staff, maintain consistent standards across sessions and evidence learning outcomes. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this type of specialist training can be delivered by a focused organisation rather than only by a large training company.
