Currently at the planning stage, this tender is set to support significant workforce expansion in mental health, aligning with the NHS Long Term Plan. The contract period will commence on 1 April 2023 and extend until 31 August 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure, aiming to allow broader participation from providers. A future notice is expected by 31 October 2021. This tender presents substantial opportunities for organisations involved in education and training services, particularly those with expertise in psychotherapy and mental health training. Businesses that focus on developing doctoral programmes or specialised training courses for health professionals would be well-suited to compete in this procurement exercise. Engaging in this tender could lead to significant contracts that contribute to addressing the growing demand for mental health services across the UK, thereby supporting broader public health objectives. ## Notice In August 2021, HEE announced a tender exercise for the four-year Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Doctorate training programme. This is vital for two reasons: to enable sufficient course capacity to continue our programme of expansion, and to ensure a consistent national approach. After further discussions and engagement with potential bidders, and NHS England and Improvement colleagues, HEE will be extending the procurement process. This means the procurement will now be for all provision from September 2023 entry, and will not include 2022 entry. This decision to extend the process was made following feedback received at the market engagement events, to safeguard continuity of provision for September 2022. This is essential to support the unprecedented expansion of the psychological professions workforce by approximately 10,500 posts by 2024 to meet commitments set out in the NHS Long Term Plan. The procurement exercise will continue to proceed at pace. The launch of the specification and the bid submission dates for the programme will now happen at a slightly later date, which we hope will allow more time for submission and for mobilisation once contracts are awarded. It will also provide bidders with additional lead time to prepare competitive high-quality bids. HEE will widely communicate the new timeline of dates for the programme once confirmed by the end of October 2021. We would like to thank interested parties and potential bidders for their engagement and efforts in this tendering exercise so far. We look forward to our continued work with all to support the delivery of excellent healthcare to the public across England. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c71e2ae1-46d9-42eb-a606-f85cf795337d | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Oct 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2023 - 31 Aug 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 11 Oct 2021 at 09:40 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c71e2ae1-46d9-42eb-a606-f85cf795337d - 8 Sep 2021 at 13:54 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cdb6d544-a75b-4edc-bc77-68e90d3c0d65 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c71e2ae1-46d9-42eb-a606-f85cf795337d 11th October 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cdb6d544-a75b-4edc-bc77-68e90d3c0d65 8th September 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
