In plain English
NHS England is looking for a supplier to refresh, redesign and update three established leadership development programmes (the Edward Jenner, Mary Seacole and Rosalind Franklin programmes). The updated programmes must align with the new Management and Leadership Framework standards and competencies. The contract is worth up to £320,000 excluding VAT, runs until 31 March 2027, and has an optional six-month extension at zero cost.
What the buyer wants
• Refresh, redesign and update the content of all three named leadership programmes so they match the new Management and Leadership Framework standards and competencies. • Submit a complete Invitation to Tender (ITT) response by the deadline of 12:00 noon on 30 November 2026. Late submissions will not be accepted. • Send all tender communications through the messaging function on the e-Tendering portal, not directly to NHS England, unless the ITT expressly permits otherwise.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice sets no explicit experience, turnover or qualification thresholds, but the £320,000 value and the task of redesigning three established national programmes to new standards would most likely rule out smaller firms without substantial leadership development expertise, and the strict deadline with no late submissions means an incomplete or rushed bid will fail.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
