The procurement process for the "Primary Care Apprenticeship Training Needs Analysis" was initiated by Health Education England, aimed at addressing challenges faced by Primary Care employers within the East and West Midlands, as well as the East of England.

## Notice

Quotations are invited for the provision of 'Health Education England Midlands and East Primary Care Apprenticeship Training Needs Analysis' Supporting Primary Care employers with challenges around Business Administration Apprenticeship Standard and beyond Summary Evaluation Aims and Objectives: The Training Needs Analysis (TNA) aims to: * Determine apprenticeship activity across Primary Care within the Midlands and east region. By "Apprenticeship Activity" we refer to - o Apprenticeship starts o If Apprentices are recruited externally or current staff are being trained on apprenticeship standards o Which apprenticeship standards are being utilised * From the data gathered, why are Business Administration Apprenticeship Standards not being accessed? * Determine where the need is regarding apprenticeship standards that are available. There may be gaps in provision as standards do not exist for specific roles within primary care * Where there are gaps in training provision that is stopping apprenticeship activity. * Where Primary care providers would like to benefit from levy funds but are not levy payers themselves, there is an opportunity to co-investment apprenticeship funding; this would allow linking with apprenticeship levy payers that want to transfer some of their funds. * Provide feedback on activity broken down into county, STP footprint, sub region and region * Recommendations on what can be done to improve activity across Primary Care in utilising apprenticeship training. Key Training Needs Analysis Requirements A. To carry out interviews, questionnaires and focus groups with key stakeholders, Primary Care organisations, Training Hubs B.
