The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for 17th November 2022. The tender is categorised under education and training services. The buying organisation is Health Education England, based in Leeds, with the procurement being initiated as a tender process. This opportunity by HEE presents a chance for organisations to provide support in developing the Early Years Dental Training Curriculum, aligning with the Advancing Dental Care (ADC) Review objectives. Businesses in the education and training services sector, particularly those with expertise in dental education and curriculum development, would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The procurement process aims to gather feedback to ensure value for money and maintain quality in the curriculum production. Interested parties need to submit the completed Request for Information (RFI) questionnaire by the specified deadline through the Atamis e-tendering messaging portal. ## Notice Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner) will be commencing a Request For Information (RFI) from the market for Early Years Dental Training Curriculum Production. This Request for Information (RFI) is to gain feedback on how an organisation could support Health Education England in producing an Early Years Dental Training Curriculum and how to ensure value for money is achieved with no impact to quality. One of the objectives of the Advancing Dental Care (ADC) Review is to develop a two-year Early Years Dental Training Programme to broaden trainees' experiences and to support career progression. Most new dental graduates currently undertake the standard 12-month Dental Foundation Training (DFT) programme. The new Early Years Programme will bring together elements of that programme, combined with a more broad-based training experience over two years across a number of other dentally based disciplines. This includes training in secondary care settings and primary Dental Care Services. The new model of undertaking Early Years training over two years will mean that more trainees will receive a more varied experience than in the current standalone model and develop relevant transferable skills for their future career. The additional experience gained by dentists at the beginning of their careers should enable them to be increasingly confident in the level of care they are able to offer patients. Please ensure the completed RFI questionnaire is sent back via the Atamis e-tendering messaging portal only by deadline of 17th November 2022 at 12:00pm (midday).
