## Summary

NHS England commissioned a soft-skills training course for GP international medical graduates (IMGs) in specialty training. The service is intended to strengthen the education offered to these trainees. It covers online half-day sessions across eight topics, delivered twice each year, alongside another half-day IMG course to make a full training day. The provider also records sessions and supplies recordings and learning resources for NHS England to share regionally. Associated work includes course bookings and delegate communications, eligibility and waiting-list administration, attendance records, certificates, evaluation data and reports. The buying organisation is NHS England. The course is an education and training service for general practice trainees, rather than clinical care or general-purpose training.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to K2 Geminids Education Ltd. NHS England used a direct award below the public procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 2 October 2026 to 2 October 2029. Its value is £72,675. The requirement is a single lot. The published contract terms set a delivery schedule of 16 half-day sessions each year, with booking confirmations within 48 hours and reminders at least 10 days before each course. The provider must record attendance, issue certificates, return protected data and course reports, and make recordings and resources available. No separate award evaluation criteria are recorded.

This contract shows NHS England’s demand for a specialist provider able to deliver structured soft-skills teaching for international medical graduate GP trainees, rather than broad staff training. A credible competitor would need to plan and reliably deliver 16 half-day online sessions annually across eight topics, coordinating dates with the companion IMG course. Capacity must also cover course booking, eligibility checks, waiting lists and timely delegate communications. The service requires secure handling of trainee information, including password-protected attendance and evaluation files, as well as session recordings and reusable learning resources. Providers should be able to issue certificates, produce complete post-course attendance and evaluation packs, monitor delivery against schedule, and contribute to course reviews and annual reporting. The awarded supplier is an SME; the requirement is delivered as one coordinated service.
