## Summary

NHS England is seeking to commission the "Individual Employer Development Programme," aimed at providing grant funding for training access to user-led organisations and individual employers of personal assistants. This procurement falls within the health services industry and is located in Leeds, England. The tender period will close on 3rd September 2021, with a contract period running from 20th September 2021 to 31st March 2022. The procurement method is classified as a limited process, specifically a competitive quotation below the threshold, with a total funding amount of £110,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in personal development training services. Businesses with a proven track record in grant disbursement and training organisation will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The requirement for effective outreach and support to applicants also opens avenues for partnerships with organisations adept in community engagement and capacity building.

## Notice

The Authority is looking to commission an organisation with a national footprint to disburse grant funding to user led organisations and to individual personal health budget employers of personal assistants (PAs) for the purposes of enabling them to access training for themselves and/or their personal assistants. This will require working at speed to advertise the availability of the fund through established networks and channels, issuing guidance and an application form, and selecting individuals and organisations who can receive the funding. Individual applicants may require significant support to apply and receive the funding. They may also require support in relation to arrangements to attend training including for example the need to arrange backfill for PAs attending training. Follow up to ensure that funding is used in accordance with terms and conditions and to monitor outcomes is required. Quarterly reporting to NHSE on numbers of grants made, learning outcomes and spend is required. Please apply here: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome
