## Notice

**Closed as now awarded** The Department of Health (DH) helps people to live better for longer. We lead, shape and fund health and care in England, making sure people have the support, care and treatment they need, with the compassion, respect and dignity they deserve. DH is a ministerial department, supported by 27 agencies and public bodies. The DH policy school is a bespoke, 5 day programme for delegates from DH and affiliated organisations, designed to equip high potential delegates at Executive Officer to grade 6 level with policy and delivery skills, expertise and motivation. Delegates receive a range of sessions (in the form of talks and workshops) from different experts across business, central government and the wider public sector. They then test and apply this learning by developing a policy proposal as a small team, and presenting that proposal to a panel of senior leaders and stakeholders. In order to ensure effective and smooth running, each school requires an external facilitator to act as the 'Programme Director' for the duration. This was demonstrated in the current Policy school Programme, where participant feedback praised the facilitation and the impact that this had on encapsulating and embedding their learning. The Department successfully ran the Policy School during 2015/16, the scheme received universally positive feedback from participants and contributors. The Department is tendering for a facilitator for the next 3-4 schools, to ensure consistent, high quality facilitation and management throughout the schools. This therefore is notification that the Department is running a sub-Ojeu Open Procurement for the services described - for which see Invitation to Tender (ITT) ref number 60307.
