Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process concerns the delivery of the Windrush Programme, initiated by Health Education England (HEE), a body responsible for supporting the education and training of health professionals in the UK. This notice, published on 23rd November 2021, is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) indicating HEE’s intent to complete a Direct Award to The Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF) based on their unique capacity to meet specific requirements. The closing date for this PIN is midday on 23rd December 2021, and the contract duration will run from 17th January 2022 to 16th January 2023. The initiative falls within the education and training services sector, with a budget of £100,000 allocated for the project.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations involved in education and training, particularly those with experience in delivering health-related programmes. The Florence Nightingale Foundation is currently positioned as the only supplier deemed capable of executing the Windrush Programme due to its already established initiative and current recruitment efforts that have resulted in a ready pool of BAME nurses and midwives. Companies that specialise in similar educational services, particularly those with a focus on diversity and inclusion within healthcare, may find this notice relevant for partnership possibilities or future bids in a tightly regulated space.
