## 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.
