## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by Health Education England, for the project titled "Scoping and gap analysis perinatal mental health services training and education resources to 24 months after birth." This initiative falls under the services category, specifically evaluation consultancy services. The procurement is currently at the award stage, having concluded the tender period on 15th January 2021. The contract was awarded on 2nd March 2021, for a total value of £40,600 and encompasses a contract period from 15th March to 30th June 2021. This project is crucial for improving perinatal mental health training in the UK, delivered at locations across the country.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in training and educational resource development, particularly those with a focus on healthcare and mental health services. Companies that offer evaluation consultancy services, training programme development, and tailored learning resources will be well-positioned to compete. With the emphasis on enhancing training delivery formats and bridging competency gaps within perinatal mental health, suppliers with innovative, evidence-based solutions will likely gain valuable contracts and expand their market presence.

## Notice

As part of the scope of this work the provider will be required to undertake the following activities: Undertake a substantial national scoping review of the perinatal mental health learning materials .e. learning resources, e-learning, blended learning courses, toolkits etc available to support the competence and capability of specialist perinatal mental health community staff to engage with families of infants up to the age of 24 months. This will involve developing detailed implementation plans with recommendations to update the content and delivery of the current training and resource offer for specialist perinatal mental health (PMH) staff. The successful supplier will be required to present a report on the overall findings and evidence of good practice involving: * Work with training providers and programmes to review the delivery format for all existing PMH training opportunities for PMH specialist staff in England. * Perform a gap analysis of training in conjunction with Perinatal Mental Health Competency Framework to identify any significant gaps in the training currently provided that may need to be addressed as part of workforce development. * Complete a national and regional scale training needs analysis to determine demand, focus and level and scope of PMH training and resources required by specialist PMH staff and non-specialist staff to support delivery of the LTP ambition. * Scope which existing training programmes are high quality / quality assured and evidence based with detailed recommendations to understand which existing training programmes can be adapted and/or extended to best meet the requirements of being high quality, quality-assured and evidence-based and how they can be adapted and/or extended. * Develop actionable recommendations for potential future work to improve the provision of perinatal mental health training for healthcare staff in England. * Work with all the key stakeholders to provide actionable and innovative solutions and recommendations, outlining the approach that will be used to meet the gaps in the provision of educational resources. Whilst HEE have collated some of this information through their research activities to support the development of this report, this work needs to be built on in order to obtain information that was not readily and publicly available at the time.
