The title of the tender is "Support T levels in the Healthcare Sector". This process is currently in the planning stage, as indicated by the issuance of a Prior Information Notice (PIN) with a deadline for submissions set at midday on 9th December 2021. The contract has a value of £20,000 and is aimed at delivering educational and training services across England, with a contract period projected to run from 4th January 2022 to 31st March 2022. The procurement method indicated is a direct award to Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, which has prior experience in this area. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses that specialise in education and training services, particularly those with a focus on healthcare and apprenticeship programmes. Companies with a proven track record in managing health education initiatives or those that have established relationships within the NHS may be particularly well-suited to compete. The requirement for continuity and the need for expertise through the continuation of services underscore the importance of experienced suppliers who can maintain and enhance existing academic relationships and training initiatives within the national healthcare framework. ## Notice Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner) are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award. Please note the contracting authority intends to direct award the contract to Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal. HEE believe that Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is the only supplier who can support the above programme requirements until 31 March 2022, with their knowledge and experience (since 2017) in order to maintain continuity and provide the expertise necessary to develop and undertake a maturity modelling exercise of NHS Trusts that could support Wave 2 industry placements. Due to the length of the contract, seamless continuity is paramount. If the existing supplier cannot continue to provide the current service to HEE, it is believed that the impact on the service will be detrimental for a number of reasons: Transition to a new supplier would mean the need for comprehensive induction to the work and organisational memory for the work would be lost, this will mean that timely delivery would not be achieved Loss of links and relationships with Talent for Care Apprenticeship Relationship Managers and regional networks, preventing effective communication and engagement to deliver the Maturity modelling tool Failure to effectively analyse and act on data collected with Maturity modelling tool thus failing to meet deadlines The financial envelope for the contract is PS20,000.00 For the Specification, Contract and the Case for Direct Award please access the portal at: https://health-family-contract-search.secure.force.com/?SearchType=Projects Please access the portal for all documents.
