Overview
Sub-Threshold direct award under the Education and Training Light Touch Regime. This is a 12-month contract to provide GP trainees with access to the AKT Toolkit, an exam preparation resource linked to the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) e-portfolio, supporting exam readiness through practice questions and personalised learning insights.
This is a short-term contract to maintain service continuity pending the RCGP-led national procurement expected next year. These services are being put in place as a short-term measure to avoid duplication of effort, ahead of a wider procurement.
These services are categorised as education and training services (CPV Code: 800000000) which are subject to the light touch regime (LTR). The LTR has a current threshold of £663K (inc VAT) and this contract value is therefore sub-threshold.
Additional details
The proposed supplier is Egton Medical Information Systems Limited (EMIS) (Trading as Optum). The contract will be on standard NHS Terms and conditions for the provision of service (PO varient).
