This project falls under the education and training services industry in the United Kingdom and is currently in the planning stage. The Prior Information Notice (PIN) was published on 13th July 2021, with a closing date for expressions of interest set for 12th August 2021. It aims to facilitate a direct award to the Florence Nightingale Foundation, which is deemed capable of meeting specific scholarship requirements supporting mental health services for children and young people. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for organisations specialising in mental health training and professional development within healthcare settings. Businesses with expertise in educational services, particularly those focused on nursing and mental health care, are well-positioned to compete. Additionally, since the procurement method involves a direct award, potential providers should demonstrate their unique qualifications and experience in supporting career development for healthcare professionals, especially in the context of enhancing mental health services as outlined in the NHS Long Term Plan. ## Notice Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner) are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award. Please note the contracting authority intends to direct award the contract to the Florence Nightingale Foundation. The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal. Health Education England (HEE) believe that Florence Nightingale Foundation is the only organisation capable of providing support such as to meet the specific requirements of the Leadership Scholarship specification. The Florence Nightingale Foundation is the only supplier with the requisite expertise and experience to assist HEE in fulfilling the deliverables relating to the increase in mental health services for children and young people (CYP), as set out in the NHS Long Term Plan and the NHS Mental Health Implementation Plan. The NHS Long Term Plan and NHS Mental Health Implementation Plan commit to provide access to an additional 345,000 CYP aged 0-25 by 2023/24. Children and young people experiencing mental health difficulties can often find themselves in an environment which is not appropriate to their mental health needs, this can include in an emergency/ urgent care department, paediatric ward or adult ward where CYP may be cared for by staff with limited specialist skills and confidence in managing mental health difficulties. Allowing three nurses and midwives working in general hospital settings the opportunity to undertake a Leadership Scholarship will facilitate improvements in the care of CYP with mental health needs in those general hospital environments. This will support delivery of the increase in access to mental health services for children and young people, as set out in the NHS Long Term Plan and the NHS Mental Health Implementation Plan and will also support retention of staff by supporting career development. The financial envelope for the contract is PS34,500 for the three year Term.
