## Summary

NHS England commissioned education and training services for a cohort of the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Standard Programme, an NHS leadership qualification. The programme is intended for primary care and covers delivery of the qualification to participating NHS leaders. The requirement includes commissioning and delivering one cohort, with teaching and programme activity provided by The University of Manchester, which holds a licence to deliver the programme. The buyer is NHS England, the central government public authority responsible for the procurement. The contracted provider is The University of Manchester. The service is associated with primary care in Manchester and is delivered as a specialist leadership-development programme rather than as clinical care, construction, goods supply or general consultancy.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold tender under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The award was made to The University of Manchester on 25 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 25 August 2026 to 11 July 2028, with a gross value of £662,000. The programme is scheduled to start in mid-May 2026 and run for two years, as described in the requirement. The procurement was for education and training services and was conducted by NHS England. The award covers the full stated lot and the selected supplier is licensed to deliver the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Standard Programme.

This award shows demand for a substantial, multi-year NHS leadership qualification delivered to a primary-care cohort. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the capability to design and deliver structured leadership education for NHS professionals, manage a complete cohort over an extended programme, and demonstrate understanding of primary-care organisations and NHS leadership development. Relevant experience in accredited or formally recognised leadership qualifications would be important, as would the academic, teaching and programme-management capacity to support learners throughout delivery. The successful supplier’s licence to deliver the programme indicates that authorisation, curriculum ownership or an equivalent delivery right may be decisive. Universities, specialist NHS education providers and partnerships combining academic expertise with operational delivery capability are the clearest comparator suppliers.
