This procurement falls under the education and training services category and aims to secure a national license for diagnostic functional skills software, which will then be made available to NHS employers. The tender period is active, with the final submission deadline set for 1 November 2019. The anticipated contract period is from 25 November 2019 to 31 March 2020. The estimated value for this project is £50,000, and the procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing broad participation from potential suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in educational software development or technology tailored for the healthcare sector. With the potential to establish contracts with up to 458 NHS employers across England, businesses prepared to deliver customised functional skills software could find a lucrative market. Suppliers with experience in working with the NHS will be well-suited to take advantage of this opportunity, tapping into a wide-ranging client base with diverse user needs. ## Notice HEE aims to procure a national license for diagnostic functional skills software, which it will then contract to NHS employers on a case by case basis. We envision that we will establish contracts with large-scale employers i.e. the 251 NHS Trusts and/or the 207 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in England. The final number of employer contracts could potential total 458 and the number of users (employees) in each employer will vary according to the local skills mix and need. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed7699d8-eba5-4606-bcb2-18fe9aa5c298 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 1 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Nov 2019 | | Contract period | 25 Nov 2019 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | 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 | NOT AWARDED | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 24 Mar 2021 at 14:48 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed7699d8-eba5-4606-bcb2-18fe9aa5c298 - 25 Oct 2019 at 08:59 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5913489c-7d22-4815-b29b-f220d2c54a06 - 23 Oct 2019 at 14:06 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2cd83188-2054-40d1-b67e-30fa168456bd - 23 Oct 2019 at 12:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4241d316-2464-4017-a0f3-826137af185e - 18 Oct 2019 at 11:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d003ebd-de47-4455-a6ad-78cbfbccbc4b - 18 Oct 2019 at 11:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7644ec53-2a8c-4c61-8eee-ba85bc50394b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed7699d8-eba5-4606-bcb2-18fe9aa5c298 24th March 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5913489c-7d22-4815-b29b-f220d2c54a06 25th October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2cd83188-2054-40d1-b67e-30fa168456bd 23rd October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4241d316-2464-4017-a0f3-826137af185e 23rd October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d003ebd-de47-4455-a6ad-78cbfbccbc4b 18th October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7644ec53-2a8c-4c61-8eee-ba85bc50394b 18th October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=40bb618e-0a24-e611-8114-000c29c9ba21&v=2 All documentation relating to this project can be found at HEE's procurement portal - ProContract Due North. ## Notice URLs - https://hee.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
