## Summary

NHS England is seeking to engage five suppliers for the "New Professional Midwifery Advocates (PMA) training" programme, which falls under the health services category. This limited tender process involves providing bespoke training in Restorative Clinical Supervision for groups of up to 20 students, with a maximum bid of £20,000 each from bidders. The tender period is set to close on 21 December 2021, and the contract will commence on 10 January 2022, lasting until 31 March 2022. The training will be delivered virtually, catering specifically to the demands of the healthcare sector during and after the pandemic. The geographical focus of the procurement is England, with operational delivery from various locations within the country.

This procurement represents a prime opportunity for training providers, particularly those specialising in healthcare education and virtual training solutions, to expand their offerings and customer base. Businesses with expertise in delivering professional training and supervision, especially within the health services sector, would be well-positioned to respond to this tender. Given the emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), this initiative encourages competitive bidding from smaller firms that can provide tailored training solutions efficiently.
