## Summary

NHS England commissioned services for the RCGP Annual Conference in the Midlands. The conference is a national event for general practitioners, with an educational focus on challenges facing doctors in training and support for educators to develop doctors and better training systems. The Midlands programme addresses the region’s high proportion of doctors who trained overseas and support for doctors with neurodiversity. It is intended for educators and attracts substantial interest from doctors. The service is classified as health services (CPV 85100000). The contracting data does not describe specific delivery venues or operational tasks, so the scope is best understood as services supporting this regional conference rather than a defined clinical service.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. NHS England awarded the contract to Haymarket Media Group Ltd for the single lot, and the contract is active. The procurement used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award value is not separately stated; the contract is valued at £20,000 excluding VAT and £24,000 including VAT. It was signed on 6 July 2026, with a contract period from 6 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The conference’s educational purpose and focus on training doctors, including overseas-trained and neurodiverse doctors, describe the requirement. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future conference requirements, this award demonstrates NHS England’s purchase of regional GP conference services with an education and workforce-development focus. A credible competitor would need to show it can support a national professional conference delivered for a Midlands audience, attract participation from doctors and educators, and accommodate content relevant to doctors in training, overseas-trained doctors and neurodiversity. Experience in conference or event services for healthcare audiences, and the ability to work with the relevant professional and educational stakeholders, would be pertinent to this requirement. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so the recorded outcome does not provide a competitive evaluation benchmark or identify specific technical accreditations, staffing levels or delivery capabilities that distinguished the selected supplier.

## Notice

The RCGP Annual Conference is a national GP conference with a strong educational component. There are usually large and small sessions focussed on the challenges faced by doctors in training and how educators can support doctors and develop better systems. In the Midlands we have a high proportion of doctors who trained initially overseas. In addition we have developed ways of supporting doctors with neurodiversity which is another hot-topic raised at the RCGP Conference. It is therefore an essential conference for educators to attend to ensure that the Midlands continues to be at the forefront of the education and training of doctors. It is valued by the attending doctors which is why a significant number wish to attend.
