This procurement falls under the "Education and training services" category and is being conducted through an open procedure. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 2nd November 2020. The contract will commence on 1st April 2021 and run for one year, amounting to a total value of £350,000. Delivery is intended for regions within England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education, training, and workforce development, particularly those focusing on digital training programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will be well-suited to participate, as the initiative aims to foster collaboration and establish a standardised approach to recruiting apprentices. Providers participating in this pilot will potentially influence a nationwide model for informing talent pipelines in the digital realm within the health care system. ## Notice Health Education England are inviting bidders to submit a tender response to design, develop and deliver a model for recruiting non graduates into entry level digital roles, via apprenticeships. The purpose of the pilot is to determine the best route to recruit, select and appoint learners into vacant digital, data and technology roles within the health and care system and to establish a pipeline of talent for future development within the system. The pilot will demonstrate collaborative working across its region and gain consensus across the patch for a standardised approach to recruiting learners onto digital apprenticeships and establish the vendor qualification as the basic entry level qualification sought for the informatics career pathway. It will also determine a pathway to continue their development onto graduate routes, such as the Digital, Data & Technology Graduate Scheme (DDaT). The pilot will establish a model which, if successful, could be adopted and replicated nationwide in 2022. The contract will be for one year, commencing 01 April 2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bc4c804-acb7-4241-89bd-f2a260442ad7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | 2 Nov 2020 | | Future notice date | 28 Jul 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £350,000 | | 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 - 1 Oct 2020 at 09:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bc4c804-acb7-4241-89bd-f2a260442ad7 - 24 Jun 2020 at 08:47 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d166eac-bd9f-4f19-b368-8f0025014a21 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bc4c804-acb7-4241-89bd-f2a260442ad7 1st October 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d166eac-bd9f-4f19-b368-8f0025014a21 24th June 2020 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=40bb618e-0a24-e611-8114-000c29c9ba21&v=2 Attendance Form to be completed, can be found at the below link.
