This tender falls under the training services category, with a deadline for bid submissions set for noon on 7th December 2018. The contracts period is slated to commence on 14th January 2019 and conclude on 30th June 2019. The procurement method being used is an open procedure, specifically tailored for a below-threshold contract, and interested businesses must register on the NOECPC Intend system to access tender documents. This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) involved in professional training services. Companies with expertise in co-designing training programmes, particularly in healthcare coaching and communication, will find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. Engaging in this opportunity could not only extend their market reach within the public health sector but also lead to long-term partnerships with the NHS, enhancing their business growth prospects. ## Notice Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust (DCHS) aims to source a provider to co-design, develop and deliver a development programme for front line staff (and those who support them) to increase their awareness and skills in coaching and communication so they can be applied in practice to improve our patient/service user ownership, engagement and management of their own health challenges. This approach when applied effectively can demonstrate improved health and motivational outcomes (ref 'Health Coaching' literature). The 'co-design' element is to incorporate some tools/models already now in use (GROW, Push/Pull styles of communication) for which there is now internal evidence and a demand/appetite to scale up and extend - so we wish to build on what has begun to be familiar, whilst not constraining the provider to add their unique value. DCHS has secured funding to allow us to do this - which brings its own demands in terms of delivery timescales which is a significant factor - we are looking to deliver the first tranche of training Jan - March 2019 with follow up half-days committed in April - June 2019 Additional information: To access the documents you will need to register on the NOECPC Intend system as per the link below is not already registered https://in-tendhost.co.uk/noecpc/aspx/Home Once on the Portal click on Current Tenders on the drop down and scroll down till you find the relevant tender, click of View details bottom Right of screen, on next page click on express interest then you will be view and download documents and Opt in or Opt Out.
