## Summary

The Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust is conducting a public procurement process titled "Health Education East Midlands Lead Employer T.EML.011 - AWARD" in the healthcare sector. This procurement, classified under personnel and payroll services, was initiated to streamline GP specialty training by appointing a single Lead Employer for both management and HR services over a three-year contract, running from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2020, with an option to extend for an additional two years. The procurement method is an open procedure under the Light Touch Regime, and tender responses were required by 17:00 on 21 February 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in medical practice and related services, particularly those that can offer comprehensive personnel and payroll solutions tailored to the healthcare sector. Companies that specialise in human resources for medical training or those looking to optimise educational and employment services within healthcare are especially well-suited to compete. Engaging in this process not only allows firms to provide valuable services in a critical area of public health but also positions them to establish long-term partnerships with prominent NHS organisations.

## Notice

The standard specialty training programme is for three years, of which 20 months is delivered within general practice. The remaining 16 months is spent in other settings including acute, partnership, hospices and community trusts, with a minimum of four other placements of four months in duration. Additionally there are various specialist schemes throughout the region aimed at developing leadership, research and educational expertise amongst talented trainees. The East Midlands Team has been reviewing the Lead Employer model for some time following the recommendation of The Committee for General Practice Education Directors (COGPED) Scoping Report in 2011, which proposed that GPSTs should have one employer throughout their training, and following the successful implementation of this initiative in other Local Teams. The East Midlands Team aims to realise a range of benefits by undertaking this procurement and for a number of stakeholders involved in GPST training. These include: a) The East Midlands Team will only have to work with a single Lead Employer for their area, leaving the East Midlands Team free to manage the programmes, the finances and any potential trainees in difficulty; b) GPSTs will only have one Lead Employer during the course of their training, reducing the risk of duplication and confusion and resulting in the provision of consistent employment and human resource services throughout their training period; c) Clinicians, including Primary Care Leads, Training Programme Directors and Patch Associate Directors, will also have only one Lead Employer to work with in their areas, streamlining communications and making clearer Lead Employer and Commissioner roles and responsibilities; and d) Such arrangements need to result in the delivery of the highest quality services and demonstrate Value for Money (VfM) This procurement is being conducted as an open procedure under the Light Touch Regime. https://in-tendhost.co.uk/leicspart/aspx/Projects/Current/ Suppliers will need to register on the In-Tend e-tendering system unless already registered. Once registered they should be able to view the tender details and also return their response. The contract will be for three years with an option to extend for up to a further two years. Tender response date is 17:00 Tuesday 21 February 2017
