## Summary

The buying organisation, NHSE, has awarded a contract for the project titled "Pre-Registration training- expanding and improving the quality of orthoptics" under the industry category of Education and training services. This project seeks to enhance orthoptic learning opportunities through collaboration with three universities and BIOS. Located in the United Kingdom and extending services to British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World, the contract is specifically aimed at addressing educational inequity. The procurement process is in the Award stage, with the tender period ending on 30th August 2024, and the contract running from 25th October 2024 to 30th September 2026. The procurement was done via a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication, above the threshold, and the contract value is £46,667 GBP.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth in the education and training sector, particularly for large-scale organisations similar to The University of Sheffield, which has been awarded the contract. Businesses involved in collaborative educational projects, especially those with a focus on healthcare training and development, will find this tender aligned with their expertise. The project is an excellent opportunity to contribute to and improve healthcare education infrastructure, potentially opening up further collaborative opportunities with public healthcare bodies such as NHSE. Organisations with a focus on expanding educational offerings and bridging learning inequities across diverse geographical regions will be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
