This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in consultancy services, health and social work services, project management, membership organisations, and community health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly suitable for this opportunity. Businesses interested in supporting the NHS Volunteer Responder Programme management should consider providing quality assurance processes, deployment of volunteers, and advisory services at a local or national level.

## Notice

The NHS Volunteer Responder Service was created as part of the Emergency Response to Covid. NHS Volunteer Responders brings a new and additional cohort to the NHS family and provides an ongoing opportunity for people to continue to support the NHS by retaining the national micro-volunteering and crisis/emergency response service. The management supplier may therefore be responsible for deployment of volunteers into some volunteering roles, agreed nationally, but will also create a quality assurance process to approve other organisations to be able to access and deploy volunteers through the NHS Volunteer Responders brand either locally or nationally, providing a support and advisory function as needed
