This project falls under the healthcare industry category, specifically involving software and training services. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 18th September 2020. The contract is set to commence on 19th October 2020 for an initial duration of two years, with an option to extend for a further three years. The total contract value is £135,000, which includes a minimum value of £54,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their service offerings in the UK's healthcare education and training sector. Companies specialising in e-learning platforms, digital pathology solutions, or software development related to healthcare training would be well-suited to compete for this contract, enabling them to participate in advancing the NHS Genomic Medicine Service through innovative educational tools. ## Notice The Genomics Education Programme (GEP) was established in 2014 following an initial investment from the Department of Health to pump prime genomic education and training activity to support the delivery of the 100,000 Genomes Project. At the beginning of financial year 2018/19 the GEP became part of 'business as usual' within Health Education England (HEE) and, in collaboration with NHS England (NHSE), continues to support the newly launched NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS). As part of its role in delivering education and training to the NHS workforce, the GEP has developed two 'Articulate' online e-learning modules to educate and train histopathologists and other NHS staff in the fundamentals and best practice of tumour assessment suitable for whole genome sequencing. To ensure that learners can test the knowledge they acquire from these modules, an accompanying final assessment component is necessary. In this assessment, learners should be able to view and assess real tumour samples within a digital pathology / virtual microscopy environment. HEE is therefore inviting quotations from providers for the service of hosting the online e-learning modules and providing the infrastructure, hosting and software to provide the digital pathology assessment for learners. This will commence 19th October 2020 for up to 2 years (with the option to extend for a further 3 years). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f53d3a8-16a9-4a44-b342-40c3cf519dbf | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | 18 Sep 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Oct 2020 | | Contract period | 26 Oct 2020 - 25 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £135,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £76,044 | | 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 | HEALTH EDUCATION ENGLAND | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CIRDAN IMAGING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 80561000 - Health training services ## Release History - 29 Oct 2020 at 13:14 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f53d3a8-16a9-4a44-b342-40c3cf519dbf - 20 Aug 2020 at 11:18 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3e988c4-bcfc-4d25-a0b7-6ab6527b86b4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f53d3a8-16a9-4a44-b342-40c3cf519dbf 29th October 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3e988c4-bcfc-4d25-a0b7-6ab6527b86b4 20th August 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=40bb618e-0a24-e611-8114-000c29c9ba21&v=2 All tender submissions, and any related clarifications, must be raised via HEE's e-tendering portal; ProContract.
