## Summary

The General Pharmaceutical Council, based in London, has awarded a contract for research on the standards for the initial education and training of pharmacy technicians. The contract, with a value of £30,000 GBP, was awarded to ICF Consulting Services Ltd. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 10th March 2023 and the contract period running from 18th May 2023 to 1st November 2023.

This tender from the General Pharmaceutical Council presents an opportunity for businesses, especially small or medium enterprises (SMEs), involved in research services. The focus on understanding the impact of education and training standards creates opportunities for firms with expertise in this field. Businesses interested in educational reform and research services tailored to pharmacy technicians' skills and performance would be well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The research should generate insight that helps us to understand the impact of the 2017 IETPT standards on the skills and performance of pharmacy technicians and the experiences of those involved in delivering and completing the current initial education and training. This will feed into our plans for educational reform, where we are looking to review the current standards in the next few years. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
