This initiative is led by Health Education England (HEE), which is seeking to award a contract to the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The procurement is classified under 'Education and training services' and is currently in the Award stage. The contract, valued at £89,615.50, is set to start on 18th January 2021 and will last until 31st May 2021. Notably, the procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 10th January 2021. This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those that specialise in educational content or training services related to learning disabilities and autism. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find the open procurement process advantageous, as they can contribute innovative educational resources to complement the existing materials effectively. The successful bidder will collaborate closely with HEE to maintain high-quality standards and deliver valuable e-learning resources to benefit the learning disability community. ## Notice Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner) are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award. Please note the contracting authority intends to direct award the contract to the Royal College of Psychiatrists (MindEd) for the short time period above. This is to conclude three further modules to a suite of seven current e-learning materials for the stopping over medication of people with a learning disability, autism or both with psychotropic medicines, which was previously awarded via a Tender exercise. The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal. HEE believe that it is essential to direct award to ensure the additional three sessions sit seamlessly within the suite of resources. To do so it is essential to co-produce with the same experts by experience, maintain the continuity of editorial oversight, and retain the common learning styles and delivery platform as the sessions already in production. If the existing supplier cannot continue to provide the current service to HEE, it is believed that the impact on the service will be detrimental for several reasons: * The level of collaboration required of the existing provider to work with a new entrant to produce a coherent suite of resources would add unreasonable cost and time burden * There would be a need factor in unnecessary discovery and collaboration costs for a new provider * The loss of editorial oversight and co-production with experts by experience would introduce unnecessary risk to the homogeneity of the suite of materials and confidence within the learning disability community. * Another supplier would impact the delivery timescales and cost of the programme It is envisaged that while updates of the existing material work needs to continue in 2020/21 with this supplier. An open procurement process shall be undertaken for any new related work and for product replacement as and when required. The contract will be a maximum value of PS89,615.50 For the Specification, Contract and the Case for Direct Award please access the portal at: https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=40bb618e-0a24-e611-8114-000c29c9ba21&v=2 Please access the portal for all documents.
