This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with responses required by 10th January 2017. The contract duration is set for three years, beginning on 1st April 2017, with the possibility of a two-year extension. The procurement process follows an open procedure under the Light Touch Regime, aimed at streamlining general practice specialty training across the East Midlands region. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in human resources and training programme management. Companies that can provide consistent employment services and support for GP specialty trainees are well-suited to compete for this contract. Winning this contract could significantly enhance a business's profile and connections within the healthcare sector, especially within the East Midlands region. ## 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef6fc034-4cfb-433c-bbd7-245ff6b44435 | | 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 | 15 Dec 2016 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2017 - 31 Mar 2020 | | 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 | LEICESTERSHIRE PARTNERSHIP NHS TRUST | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG11 6JS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF16 South Nottinghamshire | | Local authority | Rushcliffe | | Electoral ward | Ruddington | | Westminster constituency | Rushcliffe | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85120000 - Medical practice and related services ## Release History - 15 Dec 2016 at 19:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef6fc034-4cfb-433c-bbd7-245ff6b44435 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef6fc034-4cfb-433c-bbd7-245ff6b44435 15th December 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/leicspart/aspx/Projects/Current/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
