The tender period ends on 25th November 2019, with the contract period starting on 16th December 2019 and concluding on 31st March 2020. The total value of the contract is estimated at £50,000, with a minimum threshold of £25,000. This opportunity can significantly contribute to business growth for organisations specialising in training and development, particularly those offering leadership programmes in healthcare. Companies with the expertise to deliver tailored leadership training for healthcare professionals, especially those with an understanding of IPC protocols, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as they may provide innovative approaches to leadership development in this specialised area. ## Notice There are regular requests for NHS Improvement and NHS England to identify suitable candidates for lead posts in infection prevention and control (IPC) teams. Building on the success of the Executive Director of Infection Prevention and Control programme we would like to offer leadership development to the next generation of IPC leads who are often have robust clinical experience but do not have access to leadership development courses. The programme will focus on the development of leadership skills for the next generation team leaders but will not provide clinical or specialist skills for infection prevention and control. The development programme will prepare individuals for their next step in IPC leadership by raising their knowledge and experience of leadership methodology and styles. Eligible participants will have completed a recognised IPC post registration qualification, be working at band 7-8a or be a designated deputy lead nurse at a higher band or equivalent (or other registered professional). They will have been identified by the Chief Nurse/Medical Director/Director of Infection Prevention and Control as being aspirant leader of an IPC team, these posts are variable and constitute a wide range of structures. Educated to a minimum of degree level study (or equivalent experience) with a minimum of five years post registration experience in healthcare. Delegates will be from NHS Providers (Acute, Community, Mental Health, Ambulance Trusts and Clinical Commissioning Groups). The development programme will prepare individuals for their next step in IPC leadership by raising their knowledge and experience of leadership methodology and styles. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc890a20-a826-49e8-b803-184f7d78c588 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 25 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Dec 2019 | | Contract period | 3 Jan 2020 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £141,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS IMPROVEMENTS | | Locality | 133-155 WATERLOO RD, LAMBETH | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 8UG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI45 Lambeth | | Local authority | Lambeth | | Electoral ward | Waterloo & South Bank | | Westminster constituency | Vauxhall and Camberwell Green | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TEESSIDE UNIVERSITY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80561000 - Health training services ## Release History - 2 Jun 2020 at 13:44 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc890a20-a826-49e8-b803-184f7d78c588 - 5 Nov 2019 at 12:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5b04b6ea-f341-4720-9931-1772c0368f60 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc890a20-a826-49e8-b803-184f7d78c588 2nd June 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5b04b6ea-f341-4720-9931-1772c0368f60 5th November 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6bbf862e-c263-4a70-bacc-bee4b4c471d8 ITQ-NUR-1116-382 - https://www.mytenders.co.uk Link to the Mytenders portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
