## Summary

NHS England is seeking to commission a Content and Engagement partner(s) through a limited procurement method to develop resources for the 'Embedding the VCSE Sector' programme. The tender, titled "Resources and toolkit for Embedding the VCSE Sector," aims to enhance NHS England's engagement with the Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 6 January 2022. The contract will commence on 24 January 2022 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2022. This project falls under the health services category and has a budget of £50,000, with Leeds, UK as the delivery location.

SMEs are encouraged to apply, as the procuring authority has indicated a preference for small and medium enterprises. Competing organisations should have capabilities in developing resources and engagement strategies that align with national healthcare initiatives, especially those focused on supporting the VCSE sector.
