Tender: NHS England — Strengthening Cultural Capability and Trauma-Informed Care in Women’s Health

About

NHS England is seeking a supplier for a programme to strengthen cultural capability and trauma-informed care in women’s health by improving how the workforce listens and responds to women, recognises and acts on procedural pain, and delivers culturally competent care with particular focus on impacts for women from the Global Majority and the Core20 population. The supplier will build lasting training capacity in every NHS England region rather than deliver a one-off national course, provide integrated care boards with practical guidance to sustain local delivery and future commissioning, and deliver a complete, refreshable set of materials owned by NHS England. The maximum financial envelope for the full duration of the contract including all extensions is £175,000 (exclusive of VAT); the initial term runs from signing until 31 March 2027, the authority will contract with one provider, and completed ITT submissions must be received by Friday 30 October 2026 at 12:00pm (midday); late submissions will not be accepted.
