This Direct Award aims to support doctors returning to training, ensuring a consistent level of training provision. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with a contract value of £370,000 set to commence on 1st April 2021 and continue until 31st March 2024. This was announced in a Prior Information Notice (PIN) published on 29th January 2021, with a closing date for responses on 28th February 2021. The project falls under the education and training services category and will be executed across three hub sites in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the education and healthcare sectors, especially those with experience in training and support services for medical professionals. Companies offering innovative solutions for professional development or those involved in educational technology, as well as providers of training courses tailored for medical staff, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with this contract could enable businesses to contribute to the enhancement of healthcare services and expand their influence within the NHS framework over the next three years. ## 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 Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal. In 2018 Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS FT developed the regional SuppoRTT in order to upskill HEE North West (NW) doctors returning to training after a prolonged period of absence. Since then, the Trust has continued to develop the programme with trainee attendance increasing. To maintain programme continuity and to upscale delivery through 3 hub sites across the North West which have been identified, it is proposed we retain the current provider for the next 3 years in order maintain a high level of service provision and support for doctors returning to training. This will enable us to fulfil HEE's mandate and the actions of the NHS Long Term People's Plan by supporting the delivery of excellent healthcare and health improvement to the patients and public of England through ensuring we have enough people with the right skills and experience in the right place at the right time and that staff have the time and support they need to care for patients.
