This procurement falls under the industry category of Research and development services and related consultancy services, with a total contract value of £150,000. The tender deadline for submitting expressions of interest is on November 18th, 2022, and the contract period will start on December 5th, 2022, and end on March 31st, 2023, aligning with a service procurement method within the Open procedure (above threshold) type. This tender creates an opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services sector interested in developing e-learning and graphic content. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in training delivery and content development would be well-suited to compete for this contract. It aims to address the training gap in data security and protection, catering to the needs of SME care providers. The focus is on enhancing digital capabilities for care providers amidst the Better Security, Better Care (BSBC) national programme to improve data and cyber security within the adult social care provider sector. ## Notice Better Security, Better Care (BSBC) is a national programme to improve data and cyber security in the adult social care provider sector. It is led by a programme board whose members include NHS Transformation Directorate, NHS Digital, NHS England and Improvement, the Local Government Association, the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) and, on behalf of the care provider sector, Digital Social Care. The BSBC programme supports the adult social care sector with resources and assistance to help care providers complete the Data Security & Protection Toolkit (DSPT). Most care providers are small and medium sized enterprises (SME) who often do not have access to data and digital expertise and do not have internal learning and development capacity. Sourcing and regularly delivering suitable training on data security and protection, and cyber security, to frontline staff is one of the key challenges for SME care providers in completing the DSPT. The BSBC Programme will appoint a learning provider to develop and deliver the e-learning and graphic content that will address the current training gap. The project will include engagement with key sector stakeholders to develop a national learning resource that delivers the required learning outcomes and meets the needs of the range of SME care providers completing the DSPT. Expressions of interest to tender for this contract to be submitted in writing to nadiasiouty@digitalsocialcare.co.uk by the closing date (please see attached specification and application form for more information). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b62e54f9-8c0f-45b5-8e5b-62ce571f80d1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 18 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Dec 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | REGISTERED NURSING HOME ASSOCIATION LIMITED | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B30 3JN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | King's Norton North | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Northfield | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 21 Oct 2022 at 14:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b62e54f9-8c0f-45b5-8e5b-62ce571f80d1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b62e54f9-8c0f-45b5-8e5b-62ce571f80d1 21st October 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8a020c9e-08bf-4679-b49d-45a6ae183392 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c9e7f170-32a8-4c44-b0da-51dc5a0d92b4 ## Notice URLs - https://www.digitalsocialcare.co.uk/data-security-protecting-my-information/better-security-better-care/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
