The Consultation aims to gather views on the demand for and effectiveness of medicines manufacturing training provision. The Consultation is in the planning stage with a deadline for engagement set for February 17, 2023. The Consultation is classified under laboratory services, medical education services, specialist training services, and vocational training services. This opportunity is well-suited for businesses involved in laboratory services, medical education, specialist training, and vocational training. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate. The Consultation offers the chance for contributors to provide feedback and potentially influence future training initiatives in the medicines manufacturing sector. Businesses interested in skill development and career pathways in medicines manufacturing would find this Consultation particularly relevant. ## Notice The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy ("BEIS") (for the purposes of this Early Engagement Notice acting through the Office for Life Sciences ("OLS")), is conducting this Consultation ("Consultation") on medicines manufacturing skills provision in the UK. The scope of the Consultation defines skills as "apprenticeships, undergraduate and PHD recruitment and placement; vocational (including technical skills) training and the conduct of schools engagement"; and Medicines Manufacturing ("MM") as "the manufacture of drugs for human use, including vaccines and therapeutics". This Consultation seeks to gather views on the demand for and the effectiveness of MM training provision, specifically in terms of: a) meeting the needs of individuals to acquire MM training; b) meeting the needs of industry in training and recruiting industry ready MM personnel; c) the appetite of current (and potential) training providers to develop MM training; and d) views on initiatives to strengthen career pathways into MM. To this end OLS is inviting individuals and organisations to contribute their views (be "Contributors / Respond") to this Consultation. Consultation Responses will primarily be collected via a questionnaire, however in addition to Questionnaire Responses, OLS is offering the opportunity for Contributors to attend a one-to-one on-line meeting with OLS to discuss the issues raised by the Consultation in more depth ("Consultation Meetings"). Whilst it is OLS's intention to hold Consultation Meetings with all Contributors who express an interest in so meeting, available appointments will be allocated on a 'first come first served' basis. Organisations requesting a meeting will be asked to complete a brief survey to provide background to inform the Consultation Meeting. No additional weight will be given to Responses received from Contributors attending a Consultation Meeting and additional documents can be submitted by Contributors as part of their Response, to enable the provision of information on aspects of answers which are not easily communicated through the Questionnaire format. Further information on the Consultation issues and process can be obtained by emailing via the address below. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/33050ca5-c548-41ce-8f02-3b6627688f60 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Apr 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 17 Feb 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BUSINESS ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 71900000 - Laboratory services - 80320000 - Medical education services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80530000 - Vocational training services ## Release History - 21 Apr 2023 at 13:40 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/33050ca5-c548-41ce-8f02-3b6627688f60 - 31 Jan 2023 at 17:36 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/33050ca5-c548-41ce-8f02-3b6627688f60 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/33050ca5-c548-41ce-8f02-3b6627688f60 21st April 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b7394ace-58bf-4738-9a13-31acfc4d2d2d Early Market Engagement Guidance Document and Questionnaire (whilst system defaults classify this document as 'a notice of a planned procurement' please note that no procurement is currently intended to result from this Consultation.) - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c3d1cf0e-0410-49ae-ab08-e90419f7f729 Summary of the responses received to the Medicines Manufacturing Skills Market Engagement survey. ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/office-for-life-sciences ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
