This tender represents a direct award opportunity with a contract value of £50,000, aimed at maintaining continuity in service delivery. The purchasing authority intends to award the contract to Click Developments, regarded as the sole capable supplier for the project due to their extensive experience since 2013. The deadline for responding to this notice is 1st June 2021, and the contract period will commence on 14th June 2021, lasting for one year until 13th June 2022. The services are to be delivered in England, United Kingdom, and the procurement falls within the consulting services category under the CPV classification. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare consulting, especially those experienced in managing training or certification programmes. Stakeholders, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community service enterprises (VCSEs), may find this procurement particularly appealing. The successful execution of this project could enhance the winning company’s portfolio and establish long-term relationships with public health authorities, thereby supporting their growth in the healthcare sector. ## 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 Click Developments. The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal. Heath Education England [HEE] believe that Click Developments is the only supplier who can support the above programme requirements for one year in 2020/21, with their knowledge and experience (since 2013) in order to maintain continuity for the maintenance and strategic management of the Care Certificate and to undertake the Care Certificate Review. Due to the length of the contract (one year), seamless continuity is paramount. 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 a number of reasons: o Transition to a new supplier would mean the need for comprehensive induction to the work and organisational memory for the work would be lost, this will mean that timely delivery would not be achieved o Loss of links and relationships with the main care certificate network preventing effective communication and engagement to deliver the care certificate review and maintenance agenda o Failure to effectively analyse and act on data collected for the care certificate review thus failing to meet deadlines The financial envelope for the contract is PS50,000.
