This procurement falls within the health and social work services industry category, with a contract period commencing on 1st June 2019 and concluding on 31st August 2020. The procurement method utilised was a direct award via single tender action, with a total contract value of £155,819. The deadline for tender submissions was set for 29th May 2019, located in Camden, London. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in health service project management and administrative support, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) equipped to deliver on educational and training programmes for health and social care professionals. With the aim to enhance workforce capacity and manage funds for Training Hubs, interested companies should have experience working in collaboration with healthcare providers and a strong understanding of transforming educational frameworks within the health sector. ## Notice Camden Clinical Commissioning Group is committed to hosting Training Hub formerly known as the Community Education Provider Network (CEPN) on behalf of HEE. Training Hub (CEPN) is a multi-agency project that is funded externally by HEE NCEL (Health Education England (North Central and East London)). The current provision of the "Community Education Provider Network (CEPN) Project Management & Admin Service" is provided by Community Matters. Community Matters are contracted to provide Project Management and Admin Service for Camden Training Hub formerly known as Community Education Provider Network (CEPNs) which is a resource for health and social care professional to Camden. On the 13th June 2017 Camden Clinical Commissioning Group (the CCG) wrote to Community Matters awarding them the Contract for their successful invitation to tender: "PRJ429 Community Education Provider Network (CEPN) Project Management & Admin Service". The Contract commenced during July 2017 and finished on 31st March 2019 after a possible extension of up to one (1) year was exercised. Both parties signed the "NHS Terms and Conditions for the Provision of Services (contract version), The Current CEPN model is important in delivering HEE programmes of funding to primary care and the community. Key messages coming out of the recently published papers and plans is 'single delivery models' and 'shared learning'. Camden CCG has always worked closely with the STP and NCL - Haringey, Islington, Barnet and Enfield. Community Matters in August 2018 were successful in their bid tender to support Haringey and Islington CCG with regards to CEPN and delivering education & training to primary care. Where appropriate projects have been delivered across boroughs, for example the London ambulance service training. With this in mind Camden, Haringey and Islington CCGs are looking at working together and support each other and how to deliver innovative thinking locally through shared learning. Our proposal is an extension of the Camden and Community Matters Contract and to align the Contract dates with Islington and Haringey CCGs contract who have commissioned Community Matters for a maximum of 2 years. with extension of a further year. This means that the Islington and Haringey Contract ends August 2020. By aligning the Community Matters Contracts, by dates only, the funding would continue to come through Camden CCG to be distributed, this would give the NCL time to be able to work and build together a new tender incorporating the plans and deliverables being spelled out in the additional papers being published later this year. This new procurement would look at working with 3 or more of the NCL boroughs to deliver from either 1st April 2020 or August 2020.
