The buying organisation is located in Leeds, United Kingdom, with a postal code of LS1 4PL. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 9th January 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialised in education and training services, particularly in the healthcare sector, to compete for a direct award contract. The project aims to evaluate the impact of funding for training reporting radiographers since 2020, identifying challenges and making recommendations for future programmes. Companies with expertise in healthcare training and consultancy would be well-suited to participate in this tender to support the National Imaging Workforce Plan and enhance service delivery in the healthcare sector. ## Notice PIN as a call for a Direct Award. Rapid diagnosis is one way to improve outcomes and experience for patients who present with a potential cancer diagnosis however, a shortage of consultant radiologists means there are delays in the provision of timely and accurate imaging reports. Radiographer reporting is one method to increase diagnostic capacity in a safe, effective, and efficient way. As part of the Phase 1 Cancer Workforce Plan, Health Education England (HEE) committed to train 300 reporting radiographers over two years. Training capacity, variability in local workforce and possible impact on clinical services were identified as potential barriers to successful delivery of the radiographer reporting programme, especially for departments without a critical mass of experienced reporting radiographers. The education of reporting radiographers requires successful completion of a master's level qualification at a higher educational institute accredited by the College of Radiographers, underpinned by a significant component of workplace learning. Whilst there has been some regional data collection undertaken concerning the success of this funding offer, there has not yet been any formal evaluation at national level. It is anticipated that post pandemic, there will be renewed interest in the training of reporting radiographers and therefore to maximise the effectiveness of the future funding offers, it is proposed that a nationally led evaluation is undertaken to support the continuation of this vital programme or work. The aim is to undertake an evaluative project that identifies specific metrics concerning the completion and resultant service delivery impacts of the reporting radiographer funding since 2020. To identify and outline barriers and challenges that affected the nationally led offer and make recommendations to support the efficiency and direction of future funding offers within the area of reporting radiography. The outcomes from this project will support key deliverables of the NHSEI/HEE national imaging workforce plan 21/22 and actions needed for 2022/23 Further details and a direct award document can be downloaded from the link below. https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29479232-508c-46e7-bcba-266e571f48da | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 Jan 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HEALTH EDUCATION ENGLAND | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 9 Dec 2022 at 15:01 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29479232-508c-46e7-bcba-266e571f48da ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29479232-508c-46e7-bcba-266e571f48da 9th December 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
