The awarded contract, valued at £35,000 and active since 30th March 2020, spans a contract period from 5th May 2020 to 5th May 2023. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for SMEs specialising in educational services, particularly those that can provide tailored support for medical professionals.

Some referrals received by the provider may require support with clinical communication-based exams. All new referrals will be allocated an individual case number and emailed to the provider by a member of the PSW Administration Team. Please refer to 'PSW referral - Comms Skills referral Case Number for an example of the referral. The PSW will provide a brief background summary of the individuals circumstances, alongside contact details, to enable the provider to ascertain if they are able to support a trainee and provide support appropriately. The PSW will expect the provider to acknowledge receipt of any referral within 2 working days and confirm initial contact has been made with the trainee within 5 working days to arrange an appointment. The provider would be expected to manage and monitor all aspects of the process outlined above and provide a trainee's session within a reasonable and appropriate time frame, based on individual trainee's needs. The PSW will approve 8 sessions at the time of the initial referral. If the provider feels that a trainee would benefit from additional sessions, a request should be made in writing to the PSW manager using the 'Additional Sessions Request form' (Appendix 2). The request should include the number of sessions accessed to date, how many additional sessions are being requested, the rationale behind the request and, where appropriate, the objective for each additional session. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d060020b-20a0-4e25-b3f8-d98ff918a7f7 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 20 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 29 Mar 2020 | | Contract period | 4 May 2020 - 5 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £35,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £35,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HEALTH EDUCATION ENGLAND | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | COMMS4DOCS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 24 Mar 2021 at 19:47 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d060020b-20a0-4e25-b3f8-d98ff918a7f7 - 14 Feb 2020 at 14:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f655d94a-9d6f-4bc0-b5db-03c0129ebe0f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d060020b-20a0-4e25-b3f8-d98ff918a7f7 24th March 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f655d94a-9d6f-4bc0-b5db-03c0129ebe0f 14th February 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://hee.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
