## Summary

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust commissioned Olive McGowan training sessions, an education and training service for delivery in Kent, London and online. The requirement is described as training sessions; the published procurement information does not give further detail about the course content or intended participants. The buyer is the NHS trust, and the named delivery area spans locations in Kent and London as well as online provision. This is a focused training requirement rather than a goods or construction contract, and is most relevant to providers able to deliver the specified training across in-person and online settings. The awarded supplier is an apprenticeship and training company based in Epsom, illustrating the type of provider selected for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition; the procurement comprised one lot. Runway Apprenticeships Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £23,100 excluding VAT, or £27,720 including VAT. The award concerns education and training services for delivery in the United Kingdom. No award evaluation criteria are published in the contracting information, so the basis on which the supplier was selected cannot be described beyond the direct-award route.

For providers of training and apprenticeships, this award shows that Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust buys targeted training sessions for delivery across Kent and London, with online delivery also part of the requirement. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate suitable training expertise and the ability to deliver sessions flexibly across in-person locations and online. Runway Apprenticeships Limited, an Epsom-based SME, was selected, showing that a specialist training provider can serve the trust. The requirement is a single, focused service rather than a multi-lot programme, so relevant experience delivering comparable training would matter more than broad general-service capacity. The award followed a direct route without competition, so suppliers should monitor this buyer’s training requirements and understand the procurement route used.
