## Summary

NHS England is currently inviting tenders for the "NHS Rainbow Badge Phase II," aimed at scaling and enhancing LGBT awareness and inclusion within NHS organisations. This procurement falls under the category of project management consultancy services and has a value of £220,000. The tender process is open, using the open procedure method, with submissions due by 16 August 2021. Prospective suppliers should note that the contract period is set to commence on 15 September 2021 and will run until 31 March 2022, with delivery locations primarily in Leeds, England.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in consultancy services focused on diversity, inclusion, and training. Companies with expertise in project management and a track record of implementing workplace inclusion initiatives will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, potentially contributing to vital cultural changes in the NHS and expanding their business through new partnerships and projects.

## Notice

NHS England is seeking a provider to support the roll-out of the NHS Rainbow Badge Phase II pilot to the next stage. The aim of this is to scale and spread the pilot model, to build in a more systematic approach to LGBT awareness and inclusion within NHS organisations, and to address issues around monitoring, culture, education and training of the workforce more consistently. Development of a sustainable model (e.g. through organisational buy-in) will also be key to building longevity of the work. A pilot project of 'Phase II' is currently in place to explore how a benchmarking scheme may benefit NHS organisations taking part in the NHS Rainbow Badge, through a bronze, silver, gold award scheme.
