The total financial envelope for this contract is £93,000, and the principal locations for delivery are within England. The procurement method employed is a Direct Award as indicated by the Prior Information Notice (PIN). This opportunity may create significant business growth prospects for organisations that specialise in workforce development and support for the university sector, particularly those with expertise in advanced clinical practice and academic leadership. Companies with capabilities in equity, diversity, and inclusivity initiatives, as well as those focused on the training and development of Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), will be particularly suited to engage with this tender. As the intended award is directed to the Council of Deans of Health (CODH), other organisations should assess their qualifications and potential to submit proposals within the stipulated timeframe, ensuring they address the specific criteria outlined by HEE. ## Notice Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner) are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award. Please note the contracting authority intends to direct award the contract to the Council of Deans of Health (CODH). The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal. Heath Education England (HEE) considers that the CODH, given its membership and leadership role, is the only organisation capable of providing the support required to meet the specific requirements of the HEE National AHP Workforce Reform programme related to the role of the university sector in educating, training and developing the AHP workforce. The CODH is the only possible supplier with the experience and expertise to assist HEE in fulfilling Mandate deliverables and actions of UK government policy including the Long-Term Plan and People Plan. Deliverables The overall deliverables of the award are summarised below. * To further the equity, diversity and inclusivity agenda by encouraging and supporting career progression of AHP academics from underrepresented backgrounds. * To further the growth and development of the workforce and support service transformation by engaging its members and stakeholders on advanced clinical practice and AHP research. * To support the development of AHP leadership by identifying and supporting future leaders.
