## Summary

The current procurement process is led by Health Education England, which is seeking bids for a tender titled "Invitation to tender for the external evaluation of the outcomes of the Less Than Full Time Training Category 3 (LTFT) expansion in England." This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is based in the United Kingdom.

The contract is expected to commence on 6 January 2020 and will run until 6 January 2023, with a total estimated value of £90,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on health evaluation services, especially those with expertise in training and educational assessment for healthcare professionals.

## Notice

The aim of this procurement is to identify a qualified lead provider to evaluate the outcomes of the Less Than Full Time Training Category 3 (LTFT) expansion in England, which seeks to enhance junior doctors working lives by introducing flexibility initiatives. This specification requires the lead provider to also tender for the OOP-P evaluation owing to the requirement for both initiatives to be evaluated individually but also needing to assess the cumulative impact.
