Mid South Essex NHS Foundation Trust · NHS and health

In brief

Mid South Essex NHS Foundation Trust has announced plans to buy training and recruitment work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £145,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 December 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 7 bids per contract for training contracts across the UK (from 796 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £145,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The procurement encompasses five distinct lots within the Learning and Development framework: Lot 3a provides mandatory clinical training for healthcare professionals, such as infection prevention, safeguarding, and basic life support; Lot 3b delivers professional development opportunities for all staff, including leadership, management, and specialist skills; Lot 3c ensures mandatory non-clinical training, covering health and safety, GDPR, equality and diversity, and fire safety; Lot 3d offers a managed service with a Learning Management System (LMS) to facilitate booking, tracking, and management of training records; and Lot 3e focuses on training assessment, conducting needs analysis, evaluating effectiveness, and providing feedback to optimise future programmes and align learning with organisational goals.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
