Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "GPST Lead Employer Procurement - Health Education England, East of England" was conducted by the South of England Procurement Services. This procurement aimed to identify a single provider to deliver comprehensive employment and human resource services for GP and Public Health specialty trainees in the East of England. The procurement was announced as an open procedure with a tender closing date on 3 May 2016. Despite its objectives, suitable bids were not received by the awarding authority, leading to the decision to review the service requirements without awarding a contract. The anticipated contract period was set to begin on 1 July 2016 and extend until 31 March 2021, with an estimated value of approximately £360,000 based on previous years' trainee numbers.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health training services and human resource management, particularly those equipped to handle the comprehensive HR needs of medical trainees. Companies in the health services sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), would find themselves well-suited to compete for a renewed contract should the procurement be re-advertised. The successful bidder will play a crucial role in managing employer responsibilities across the East of England, thereby enhancing their market presence and service portfolio in the healthcare sector.

Notice Title

GPST Lead Employer Procurement - Health Education England, East of England

Notice Description

**12 July 2016: The awarding authority did not receive suitable bids and therefore has decided to review the requirements for this service. Therefore, no award is going to be made and this procurement is closed. If the authority considers a new procurement will be required a new and separate advertisement will be published at that time.** This procurement is being led by Health Education, The East of England Team and is overseen by the Project Board made up of senior representatives from the East of England Team's Education, Quality and Commissioning functions and finance. The objective of this procurement is to ensure a single provider is identified to provide comprehensive employment and human resource services to all The East of England Team GP, Public Health specialty trainees and Primary Care Educators as specified in Annex A of this ITB Guidance Document and within Appendix "A" of the proposed Service Level Agreement. This includes transactional activities (pre-employment, payroll, record maintenance and reporting) and general advice, guidance and HR management. The East of England currently has a lead employer model for all GPSTs, and for all PH Trainees. Both arrangements have been highly successful in supporting trainees, and establishing effective and efficient employment practices across the East of England. The lead employer arrangements have been in place since 2013 and therefore it is appropriate that a new tender process is undergone in order to establish a lead employer for the next 5 years. The East of England Team wishes to appoint one Lead Employer for the East of England Team area and covering its entire geographic footprint. As Lead Employer, you will become responsible for providing a full range of employer and human resource services and support, regardless of where a trainee is actually based or rotates to during their training programme or length of service for the PC Educator.

The 2015 contract value was approximately PS360,000 in monies received for trainees.
