This procurement aims to unify the two current systems used by approximately 2,000 trainees, trainers, and administrators into a single platform that meets their requirements as closely as possible. The tender is classified under education and training services, with a maximum contract value of £83,000, exclusive of VAT. The submission deadline for completed ITT responses is set for Wednesday, 22nd August 2018, at 12:00 pm, following an open procurement method for services under the threshold. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in software solutions for educational services, e-portfolio technologies, or digital platforms tailored for training environments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given their suitability for this contract. Successful bidders will play a vital role in enhancing educational experiences within the NHS, paving the way for future collaborations and growth within the healthcare education sector. ## Notice NHS South of England Procurement Services (SoEPS), acting on behalf of Health Education England (the Commissioner) is commencing a tender for the provision of e-portfolios for NHS Dental Foundation Training and Dental Core Training. Both NHS Dental training programmes are currently using (different) e-portfolios. Through this procurement we intend to unite the programmes and their approximately 2,000 trainees (plus trainers and administrators) onto one e-portfolio platform that fits our specification as closely as possible. As this procurement is for an off-the-shelf e-portfolio system rather than a bespoke commission, we fully appreciate that not all of our high priority requirements may be available in one system and that there will inevitably need to be an element of compromise involved in the selection and implementation of the system. Nonetheless, we intend to be guided in our decision-making by the extent to which systems can meet our highest priority user needs. The maximum value of this contract is PS83,000. This figure is exclusive of any applicable VAT. HEE would like to invite potential service providers to respond to this Invitation to Tender (ITT) for the provision as set out in the service specification and this document sets out the requirements and the criteria to be used in the evaluation. Please access the ITT documentation at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning for further information. Additional information: Bidders are invited to access the procurement documentation at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning. The deadline for submission of completed ITT responses is Wednesday 22nd August 2018 at 12:00pm (midday). The e-portal system will shutdown at 12:00pm and any un-submitted bids not registered to the system at this time will not be accepted. Therefore, please submit in good time prior to the deadline date and time. Should Bidders have any queries, or are having problems using the portal, they should contact the In-tend dedicated Supplier Helpdesk by calling 0845 557 8079 Monday to Friday (9am to 6pm) or email support@in-tend.co.uk. During the tender exercise the Contracting Authority requests that all communications are channelled through the e-portal system via the appointed procurement specialist on behalf of NHS South of England Procurement Services and not with the Contracting Authority itself. No Bidder, Bidder Member, or any of such Bidder's advisors, consultants or subcontractors may have ex parte communications with the Contracting Authority or any of their employees, advisors, contractors or consultants regarding the ITT, the Procurement, other than as expressly permitted in this ITT. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2033026-f166-42c9-bdf9-24d4017876d4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | 22 Aug 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Oct 2018 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £83,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SOUTH OF ENGLAND PROCUREMENT SERVICES | | Locality | LEWES | | Post town | Brighton | | Postcode | BN7 2PB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ22 East Sussex CC | | Local authority | Lewes | | Electoral ward | Lewes Bridge | | Westminster constituency | Lewes | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 26 Jul 2018 at 14:21 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2033026-f166-42c9-bdf9-24d4017876d4 - 23 Jul 2018 at 08:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1ed72db-4be3-4ba4-b503-752a8048c166 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2033026-f166-42c9-bdf9-24d4017876d4 26th July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1ed72db-4be3-4ba4-b503-752a8048c166 23rd July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/644f4615-9302-4410-94d6-43958840f43f How to register on In-Tend: The SoEPS e tender portal - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning SoEPS In-Tend e-tendering portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
