Notice Information

Notice Title

Review of the CPD and Career Pathways available to Health Care Support Workers

Notice Description

Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner) are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award. Please note the contracting authority intends to direct award the contract to University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal. Heath Education England [HEE] believe that University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. is the only supplier who can support the above programme requirements for a 10 month period, with their knowledge and experience (since April 2020) of work undertaken regarding the roll out of the Higher Development Award (HDA) as CPD for support workers and in order to rapidly build on this experience to further develop the HDA and other CPD opportunities (from June 2021 until 31 March 2022). Due to the length of the contract (one year), seamless continuity is paramount. If the existing supplier cannot continue to provide the current service to HEE, it is believed that the impact on the service will be detrimental for a number of reasons: o Transition to a new supplier would mean the need for comprehensive induction to the work and organisational memory for the work for the Higher Development Award would be lost, this will mean that timely delivery would not be achieved o Loss of links and relationships with the national Higher Development Award stakeholder network preventing effective communication and engagement to rollout the HDA and the support workers ongoing learning agenda o Failure to effectively analyse and act on data collected for the ongoing learning review thus failing to meet deadlines The financial envelope for the contract is PS50,000. For the Specification, Contract and the Case for Direct Award please access the portal at: https://health-family-contract-search.secure.force.com/?SearchType=Projects Please access the portal for all documents. All communications should be made via the messaging function on the Health Family E-Tendering portal. If any provider has concerns with the commissioning intentions outlined within the published documentation, please raise this via the eTendering Portal in the first instance within 30 days of the date of this Prior Information Notice. The closing date of this PIN is midday on the 24th June 2021
