Supporting NHS Workforce Development Through the NOE CPC Framework

Virtual College is proud to be an appointed supplier on the NHS Framework Agreement for the Provision of Services, awarded by North of England NHS Commercial Procurement Collaborative (NOE CPC). This appointment recognises our capability to deliver high-quality employee development and continuing professional development (CPD) services to NHS organisations through a fully compliant and trusted procurement route.

The framework provides NHS bodies with confidence, flexibility and assurance when sourcing workforce development solutions—enabling them to focus on improving patient care while meeting governance and regulatory requirements.

A Compliant Route to NHS Learning and Development Services

The NOE CPC framework has been established to support NHS and wider public sector organisations in accessing specialist services efficiently and compliantly. As a framework supplier, Virtual College has met rigorous standards across quality, governance, data protection, financial stability and service delivery.

For NHS Trusts and other participating authorities, this means:

• Reduced procurement timescales
• Confidence in legal and regulatory compliance
• Access to pre-approved, specialist suppliers
• Transparent pricing and robust contract terms

Through this framework, NHS organisations can call off services directly or run further competitions where appropriate, ensuring flexibility while maintaining value for money.
