## Summary

The NHS England is seeking involvement in the "RCN Sustainability in Nursing Practice Innovation Awards", a tender initiated to celebrate excellence among UK nurses. The focus of the 2022 awards is on sustainability and supporting the UK health system's goal of achieving net zero emissions. The procurement method is a direct, single tender action below the threshold, with the contract period starting on 1 February 2022 and concluding on 31 March 2022. The total value of the award is £18,500, and the tender was published on 15 March 2022, following an end date for submissions on 31 January 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in event services, especially those with expertise in organising awards and recognition programmes within the health sector. Companies that specialise in sustainability consulting, event management, and communications within the healthcare industry would be particularly well-suited to compete. By engaging with this tender, businesses can leverage their capabilities to align with the NHS's sustainability objectives and potentially secure funding and recognition for their contributions.

## Notice

The Royal College of Nursing Institute (RCNi) hosts yearly awards celebrating excellence amongst nurses in the UK, and the 2022 award will focus on sustainability and supporting the UK health system in reaching net zero emissions. Greener NHS (GNHS) seeks to provide funding of PS18,500 to co-sponsor the 2022 awards. Through providing this funding, the NHS will: * have a presence in the pre, during, and post event branding and comms, including logos on the RCN Nursing Awards website and a half page advert in an RCNi journal/ website of choice for two weeks. * be involved in both stages of judging (both events held remotely). * have an opportunity to shape the criteria of the awards, to ensure the highest number of quality entries are submitted. The RCNi have over 35 years' experience hosting these awards and are well versed in optimising outcomes for finalist and winners.
