## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought a Knowledge Pass covering all courses in the supplier’s portfolio. The service is e-learning, with course topics covering general business subjects. The buying organisation is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. This is a training and workforce-development requirement rather than a supply of physical goods or construction work. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would therefore be providers of online learning, business training content or related employee development services, able to offer access across a broad portfolio rather than a single specialist course. The requirement is associated with the Trust’s operations in Manchester and is intended to support learning needs across its organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 8 July 2026 to 7 June 2027. The contract value is £20,000 excluding VAT and £24,000 including VAT. The selected supplier is The Knowledge Academy Ltd. The award is active, and the tender is complete. This was a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The recorded procurement category is services, specifically e-learning services. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition process; no further award criteria are recorded in the available procurement details.

This award shows that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust purchases broad-based online business learning through a portfolio access model, rather than commissioning one isolated training course. A credible future competitor would need a substantial catalogue of e-learning courses covering varied business topics, with the ability to give an NHS organisation practical access to multiple courses through one arrangement. Relevant capability includes maintaining current digital learning content, supporting users across an organisation and administering access reliably. Providers should be able to demonstrate experience delivering business training online at organisational scale, with a service model suitable for a healthcare employer. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large training company.
