The contract is anticipated to launch on 23rd January 2017 and will extend until 19th December 2017, with a total value of £88,000, including a minimum of £78,000 for potential bidders. This tender presents a significant opportunity for academic institutions and training providers that specialise in mental health, commissioning, and educational accreditation. Businesses that can deliver accredited postgraduate-level courses and possess expertise in curriculum design for health-related programmes will find this project particularly relevant.
