This procurement falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services (CPV code 73000000). The tender process is currently in the planning stage, with submissions due by 14:00 on 30th November 2018. The contract period is set to commence on 22nd December 2018 and will extend until 31st March 2021. The tender is valued at £120,000 and will involve entities capable of delivering innovative approaches within the health and care sector. This opportunity can significantly benefit businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those with experience in developing training programmes or assessment frameworks for health professionals. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially if they possess expertise in advanced clinical practice or curriculum development for medical practitioners. Engaging in this tender not only presents a chance to collaborate with Health Education England but also to contribute to evolving standards in healthcare delivery, ultimately fostering growth in the related business sectors. ## Notice The NHS (in England) Multi-professional framework for Advanced Clinical Practice in England described a high-level imperative for a new approach to development and assurance for Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs). The health and care system is rapidly evolving to deliver innovative models of care to meet the increasing demands of individuals, families and communities. Not only has the education and training of traditional professional and clinical groups changed rapidly in recent years to account for the changing requirements of employers, patients and the public, so too has the emergence of new specialisms, including the role of Advanced Clinical Practice. For the first time in England a framework has been produced which sets out an agreed definition for Advanced Clinical Practice for all health and care professionals and articulates what it means for individual practitioners to practise at a higher level from that achieved on initial registration. The framework requires capabilities relevant to the clinical specialism to be developed. For specialties working closely with medicine ie acute medicine and geriatric medicine this needs to be undertaken alongside the organisations which hold the medical curriculum and have the authority of their membership to support the development and implementation of the work. To further work under the flexibility agenda, HEE is looking to appoint an experienced delivery partner to work with the Medical Education Reform programme - and relevant professional and regulatory bodies - to support the flexibility agenda, namely by developing the curriculum and assessment for ACPs in Acute Medicine and supporting the alignment of the existing work with geriatric medicine.
