## Summary

NHS England commissioned learning and development services for the NHS Work and Health Network. The work covers network facilitation, capability building, shared learning, policy co-design and support to scale effective work and health interventions across the NHS. It is an education and training services requirement. The network is intended to support NHS organisations in developing and spreading approaches that help people with work and health needs. The buying organisation is NHS England, a central government public authority. The service is delivered across the NHS, with the buyer based in London. The requirement combines structured learning with partnership working, practical capability development and support for wider adoption of effective interventions.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The NHS Confederation. The award date was 5 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an optional 12-month extension allowing delivery until 31 March 2028, subject to a business case, need and available budget. The contract value is £500,000 gross. NHS England used a below-threshold direct award without competition under the light-touch regime. The award covers one lot and the contract is active. The supplier is required to meet all delivery milestones and deadlines agreed in the contract, with performance measured over a 12-month period.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to design and deliver learning and development programmes across a complex national health system. Credible competitors for a future requirement would need practical expertise in facilitating professional networks, building organisational capability and enabling shared learning between NHS organisations. They would also need to support policy co-design and translate effective work and health interventions into approaches that can be adopted at scale. Experience of working with public-sector or healthcare stakeholders, coordinating multiple participants and delivering against agreed milestones would strengthen a competing offer. The selected supplier is a large organisation, so competitors should be able to demonstrate sufficient organisational capacity, credible specialist staff and the governance needed to manage a network-wide programme.
