This procurement falls under the education and training services category and is located in Leeds, United Kingdom. The current stage of this procurement process is the active tender phase, with submissions due by 11th February 2021. The anticipated contract period is set to commence on 29th March 2021 and conclude on 31st March 2022, using an open procedure for procurement. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those focusing on mental health initiatives and professional competency assessments. Companies with expertise in developing educational programmes or those able to provide services compatible with IAPT standards will find this an advantageous opportunity to support the NHS’s goal of expanding access to mental health therapies. Engaging in this tender could yield substantial growth for firms looking to partner with public health authorities in the UK. ## Notice Plans set out in the NHS Long Term Plan build on the ambitions of the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health and will see the number of people with anxiety disorders or depression who can access talking therapies through IAPT increase by an additional 380,000 per year to reach 1.9 million by 2023/24. A time-limited opportunity is to be made available for staff already working in IAPT services delivering Step 2 interventions to undertake an assessment of competence as an alternative to undertaking the full PWP training. Those who pass will receive a certificate of competence allowing them to practice as a PWP. HEE, in collaboration with NHSE/I, intends to commission two providers for the PWP competency assessment provision (Q4, 2020/21), to start in early 2021 to address service demand for this course. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ce44e077-c7f6-437d-a4b7-c826ca23e91d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | 11 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | 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 | Active | | 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 - 12 Jan 2021 at 14:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ce44e077-c7f6-437d-a4b7-c826ca23e91d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ce44e077-c7f6-437d-a4b7-c826ca23e91d 12th January 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=40bb618e-0a24-e611-8114-000c29c9ba21&v=2 Further information relating to this project can be found at HEE's e-tendering portal at the link below.
