This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on personnel training services. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a procurement method defined as an open procedure below the threshold. The tender period closes on 19 August 2019, and the contract is set to commence on 9 September 2019, concluding on 8 September 2021. The training sessions will be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom and encompass several educational programmes designed for staff at varying levels of consultancy experience. This opportunity for businesses to engage with the NHS South West Commissioning Support can drive growth, especially for organisations specialising in training and consultancy services. Companies with expertise in personnel training, particularly in health and care systems, are ideally suited to compete for this tender. The expected delivery of a minimum of seven training programmes over two years provides a substantial opportunity for qualified suppliers to showcase their skills and build a long-term partnership in a rapidly evolving sector. ## Notice SCW has two main strands of business that operate within the organisation - Business Support services providing operational support services to our main group of customers, CCGs, and Consultancy based services focussing on delivering projects and programmes across health and care systems in the South of England and at national level. We are anticipating that there is likely to be an increase in consultancy based activities reflecting the significant national drivers for change within health and care systems in England. In response to this, we have developed a number of service offers reflecting the extensive skills, knowledge and experience of our people and unifying our two key business strands to optimise our market reach. SCW is keen to ensure that our staff have the necessary skills base to both adapt and grow in a consultancy context. To this end, we have introduced the following support for staff: * Consultancy Practitioner development programme - a 2-day skills development programme, aimed at staff who are either working in a more junior capacity with existing consultancy teams and those who have had some exposure/experience of consultancy work who are currently working with Business Support services teams. This is considered an intermediate skills development programme. This programme was first piloted 2 years ago and has been delivered 6 times, receiving positive feedback from participants. * Introduction to Consultancy programme - a half day programme targeted principally towards staff in Business Support services teams who have less exposure to consultancy work. The programme examines the skills required of a consultant and enables participants to examine their own capabilities and define their personal development requirements. In addition, the programme seeks to clarify what 'consultancy' looks and feels like within SCW in order to lay the cultural foundations for development of skills. Service Delivery / Product Requirement SCW is seeking a partner to support delivery of the 2-day Consultancy Practitioner programme over the next 2 years. It is anticipated that there will be a minimum of 7 programmes (potentially up to 10 programmes) that will take place over the next 2 years. We are also looking for our partner to work with us to maintain the currency of the development programme during this period, ensuring it reflects the ever-changing climate within which SCW operates and ensuring the programme is contextually positioned to focus on skills relevant to our current and prospective client base. SCW would also look to undertake a formal evaluation of the effectiveness and impact of this programme during this 2 year period and would like the supplier to work with us in partnership during this process. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/790e88a8-ef30-4729-9593-0bc7cd6cd075 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 19 Aug 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Sep 2019 - 8 Sep 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £37,500 | | 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 | NHS SOUTH WEST COMMISSIONING SUPPORT | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 3NX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 79632000 - Personnel-training services - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 5 Aug 2019 at 10:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/790e88a8-ef30-4729-9593-0bc7cd6cd075 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/790e88a8-ef30-4729-9593-0bc7cd6cd075 5th August 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/ProjectManage/1022 ITT ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
