## Summary

The Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria has awarded a contract for the development of a digital platform to host mandatory learning disabilities and autism (LDA) training to Yalla Dev Ltd. This initiative is in response to amendments in the Health & Social Care Act, which require all regulated health and care providers to deliver mandatory LDA awareness training. The project, classified under the software package and information systems industry category, uses a restricted procurement method and is set to start on 14th October 2024 with completion by 31st March 2025. This contract covers delivery within the United Kingdom and has an awarded value of £69,660.

This tender offers potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software development and IT services. Companies proficient in creating integrated digital training solutions, particularly those with experience in health and social care sectors, would find this contract lucrative. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts, given the selective procurement process and the focus on building comprehensive, user-centred digital platforms that meet regulatory standards and operational needs.

## Notice

In July 2022 an amendment was made to then Health & Social Care Act that all regulated health and care providers must provide mandatory learning disability autism awareness training to their whole workforce that is appropriate to their role. A Code of Practice is yet to be published by the Government, but it is expected to say this training needs to be co-developed and co-delivered with a experts of lived experience of autism and learning disability. The national NHSE response has been the development of the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training. This is a 2 tier programme and is to be delivered every 3 years. The North East North Cumbria has Boost as their learning academy which is a centralised offer across the NENC ICS workforce for people to access their training requirements. We expect Boost will hold all mandatory learning disability and autism awareness training that meets the requirements of the Health & Social Care Act and Code of Practice that is available across NENC. We are looking for a team to build onto the existing Learning Academy digital platform that meets the requirements outlines in the Standards and Service Specification within the Invitation to Quote document.
