The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal. HEE is looking to Contract with The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) delivery of the Health Education England (HEE) Centre for Advancing Practice ePortfolio (Supported) Route for pharmacists. The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) is the leading professional body representing the pharmacy workforce, with a role to promote and develop the profession.

The RPS has existing expertise and infrastructure which could be utilised as described above to assess the educational equivalence of pharmacists against the Framework. The RPS has therefore been identified as the organisation HEE considers capable of providing the support and capacity required to meet its specific needs related to growing at scale the number of pharmacists recognised by the Centre. This is, however, not intended to be an exclusive arrangement and other appropriate suppliers delivering the ePortfolio (Supported) route may be involved in assessing pharmacists against the Framework.
