## Notice

Health Education England (HEE) requires a national audit provider to assess the effectiveness of several of the workstream/recommendations being delivered as part of the HEE Foundation Programme. The provider will be appointed for a maximum 3-year period. This specification supports an invitation for bids from interested parties to undertake an independent audit and work with HEE and its key stakeholders who are delivering the Foundation Programme to understand the effectiveness of its initiatives and delivery. HEE is looking for a provider with demonstrable experience and expertise in audits of this nature, working across a national footprint for a large health or public sector organisation, with a methodology capable of withstanding independent scrutiny and experience of considering the effectiveness of initiatives (in this instance initiatives to increase recruitment). The applicant(s) should be able to demonstrate independence from the training providers and NHS organisations involved in both the audit and the review. The bid must clearly set out the methodology and the engagement processes that will be utilised in the process and include examples of previous evaluation studies or reports on this scale
