Description

The NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme (GMTS) Education Team will be undertaking a procurement exercise to appoint one or more Higher Education Institution (HEI) partners (or similar organisation that can award Level 7 accreditation) to deliver a high quality postgraduate education programme for a new Engineering and Estates management specialism, commencing from academic year 2027/28. This opportunity forms a core academic component of a nationally coordinated graduate training pathway and will support cohorts of NHS employed graduates undertaking structured rotational placements across healthcare systems in England. The education provision is expected to align with a Level 7 postgraduate qualification (PGDip or Master’s) in Building Services Engineering, directly applicable to NHS operational and safety critical environments. We will be holding a pre-market engagement session on the 15th June 2026 at 15:00. To express interest to attend, please reply within the project's inbox (in Atamis) by applying via the Atamis e-sourcing portal https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome. Once registered on Atamis please search for C450183. The Teams dial in details will then be forwarded.
