This tender is currently in the Planning stage, with a Prior Information Notice (PIN) published on 21 January 2022. The tender period will close at midday on 21 February 2022, and the total estimated value of the contract is £500,000. The contract is expected to commence on 1 March 2022 and extend until the end of December 2027, with delivery addresses located in Leeds, England. This procurement opportunity could significantly benefit businesses involved in providing training services for healthcare professionals, particularly those aligned with advanced clinical practice qualifications in microbiology, haematology, and pathology. Companies with expertise in educational programme development, training grant administration, and those capable of quickly mobilising resources will find this tender advantageous. With Health Education England underscoring the unique capability of the Institute of Biomedical Science to deliver the required training, businesses that demonstrate comparable expertise may also explore partnerships or collaborative avenues to strengthen their proposals. ## Notice Health Education England are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award to the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal. Health Education England is looking to help to support HCPC registered scientists undertaking the Institute of Biomedical Science professional qualifications required for advanced clinical practice in microbiology, haematology and ultrastructural pathology. In addition, there is also funding for scientists taking the Higher Specialist Diploma with a view to seeking a senior leadership role at Band 7 (or equivalent). HEE believes that it is highly unlikely that any other supplier will be able to provide the range of knowledge, expertise and experience that IBMS has, to deliver the above course for the following reasons: - 1. IBMS is the leading expert body for this workforce. 2. IBMS is the only organisation able to identify and contact all trainees on the Advanced Specialist Diploma in these areas. 3. IBMS is the only organisation who can adequately target the training grants at the appropriate trainees and Trusts in a relevant, timely and equitable way, which reduces attrition on, and maximises completion of, the Advanced Specialist Diploma in these programmes. 4. IBMS is the only organistation that can start to provide these training grants immediately.
