supplier not published—21 Sept 2026CancelledVoluntary Termination Notice Since this work commenced, the NHS has further developed and strengthened its leadership framework and associated standards. The Trust is therefore aligning its leadership development offer with the nationally recognised NHS approach to ensure consistency with national expectations, current policy, and best practice. As a result, pursuing a separate accredited framework is no longer considered the most appropriate use of resources, and the procurement has been terminated
