Please note the contracting authority intends to direct award the contract to the Florence Nightingale Foundation. The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal. Health Education England (HEE) believe that Florence Nightingale Foundation is the only organisation capable of providing support such as to meet the specific requirements of the Leadership Scholarship specification.

The NHS Long Term Plan and NHS Mental Health Implementation Plan commit to provide access to an additional 345,000 CYP aged 0-25 by 2023/24.
