## Summary

NHS England commissioned education and training services for the Rosalind Franklin Programme, supporting the 2027 intake of General Management trainees under the Graduate Management Training Scheme. The requirement includes delivery of the programme with Chartered Management Institute (CMI) accreditation. The service is therefore aimed at an education or professional training provider able to design and deliver structured management development for NHS trainees, while meeting the relevant CMI accreditation requirements. NHS England is the buying organisation and the programme is associated with its national trainee provision. The procurement covers one requirement: the Rosalind Franklin CMI general management education offer. The relevant classification is CPV 80000000, education and training services.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. NHS England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and awarded to TQ Education and Training Limited. The awarded contract value is £375,000 including tax, in GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2029. It covers one completed lot and one active award. The agreed service is delivery of the Rosalind Franklin Programme with CMI accreditation to the 2027 GMTS intake of General Management trainees. No competitive tender evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS England for a specialist provider of structured general management education for Graduate Management Training Scheme participants. A credible future competitor would need the capability to deliver a complete, cohort-based management development programme for NHS trainees, rather than isolated training sessions. CMI accreditation capability is central to the requirement, so providers would need suitable accreditation arrangements, curriculum quality controls and staff able to deliver recognised management learning. The scale is substantial enough for an established education and training business, with the operational capacity to support a national public-sector trainee intake and maintain consistent delivery throughout the programme. Experience of NHS or comparable public-sector workforce development would help demonstrate fit for this buyer and requirement.

NHS England has awarded a contract to Pearson TQ to deliver the Rosalind Franklin Programme with CMI accreditation to the 2027 GMTS intake of General Management trainees. The agreement will run from 01/09/2027 - 31/08/2029.
