When this comes round again

NHS England publishes Education & Training work continuously — 1036 notices, roughly one every 1 day. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

77% of NHS England’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

NHS England is seeking a delivery partner (or consortium) to pilot a bespoke supported paid internship for care-experienced young people, using NHS organisations to provide work placements.

The programme is intended to support care-experienced young people aged 18 to 25 who are furthest from education, employment or training and have the right to work in the UK.

Participants will be recruited in accordance with the eligibility criteria set out in the procurement specification.

The deadline for submission of completed ITT submissions is 21st September 2026 at 12:00pm (midday).

Late submissions will not be accepted therefore, please submit in good time prior to the deadline date and time.

The Contracting Authority requests that all communications are channelled through the e-portal system and not with the Contracting Authority itself other than as expressly permitted within this ITT.

Further information relating to this project can be found on the NHSE e-tendering portal at the link below.

All clarification questions and submission bids must be received via this portal only.

Registration is free of charge. https://health-family-contract-search.secure.force.com/?SearchType=Projects
