Tender description

NELFT is seeking to better understand the market capability and delivery approaches available for the provision of the NMC approved Independent and Supplementary Nurse Prescribing (V300) programme. Following two unsuccessful tender exercises, we are issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to engage with potential providers — particularly Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) approved educational institutions — to identify barriers, opportunities, and viable delivery models that can support NELFT’s workforce development needs. The purpose of this RFI is to gather insight into the capacity of educational institutions, preferred modes of delivery, operational considerations, and any constraints that may have previously prevented participation in tendering. Responses will help NELFT refine its requirements, assess market feasibility, and design a procurement approach that is realistic, accessible, and aligned with the academic structures and governance processes of the market.

About the buyer

North East London NHS Foundation Trust delivers community and mental health services across North East London and south west Essex, buying as an NHS trust with its own procurement team. That team handles sourcing, market research, supplier evaluation and contract negotiation. Tenders are advertised through Contracts Finder and the Multi Quote supplier portal. Much of this procurement flows through frameworks from the Crown Commercial Service and the London Procurement Partnership. Supplier contracts follow NHS Standard Terms and Conditions. Six directorates commission services across the localities the trust covers.

UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.

Over the past 5 years, most of North East London NHS Foundation Trust's contract awards have been in construction work, business services and medical equipment and pharmaceuticals.
