North London NHS Foundation Trust · NHS and health

In brief

North London NHS Foundation Trust has announced plans to buy research 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 £150,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 6 months, starting 13 October 2026.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 7 bids per contract for research contracts in this region (from 60 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 £150,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

In 2026, NLFT acquired the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust via merger, including its globally recognized education and training arm, Tavistock Education and Training (TET). TET offers a range of trainings in mental health and social care, including 20 postgraduate programmes validated by university partners and a population of some 1400 students and 3000 learners annually. While TET represents a major strategic asset with a significant international reputation, it currently faces a material sustainability challenge due to a change in the core funding from NHSE. This requires TET to review its offer, both to students and the NHS, and to become more financially independent and sustainable in the long-term.

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.
