This initiative falls under the category of staff training services and is aimed at enhancing how the MHRA engages with patients and the public, with the goal of becoming a more transparent and patient-focused regulator. The tender is currently in the active stage, with submissions required by 12:00 on 9th September 2020. The contract is set to commence in the week of 14th September 2020 and will cover a period of two years, concluding on 13th September 2022. The total contract value is £45,000, covering locations in the East of England and London. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those with experience in patient and public engagement within the healthcare sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the focus on relevant experience in designing and delivering comparable courses. Firms able to demonstrate a successful track record in stakeholder engagement and training delivery will be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. ## Notice The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency requires the appointment of an experienced training provider to design and deliver a Patient and Public Engagement and Involvement Training Programme. The Agency has committed to delivering a step-change in the way it engages with patients and the public, putting the views and interests of patients and the public at the heart of its decision-making and culture. The Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review has placed added focus and urgency on the need to adopt a more transparent, responsive and systematic approach to listening to and involving patients. The Agency's ambition - to become a patient-focused regulator which recognises patients as partners - will mean transforming its activity, culture and reputation in the minds of many patient groups. The training provider and nominated personnel including any sub-contractors/third parties should have relevant experience of designing and delivering similar-comparable courses. It is also desirable that the provider has a track record in patient and public engagement and involvement and where possible experience in delivering interventions within the healthcare sector. The Contract shall commence w-c 14 September 2020. Additional information: The Agency is using Bravo as its e-procurement solution.
