This procurement falls under the "services" category and encompasses various aspects of training and education, particularly relevant to the health industry. The tender period is set to close on 15th July 2022, with the contract intended to commence on 26th July 2022 and continue until 25th July 2024. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing wide participation across potential bidders located in the UK and overseas. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on educational and training services, especially those specialising in mental health training software and resources. Companies that provide online learning platforms, especially those experienced in catering to internationally educated nurses, would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, given their suitability for the tender’s requirements for flexibility and capacity to scale services as necessary. ## Notice With Mersey care leading the collaboration and NHS England support, we are collaborating together across England to explore the commissioning of a provider to develop a virtual educational platform to support candidates with the CBT exam and also wider professional development learning to prepare them in entering the UK NHS mental health workforce. The bidder should provide internationally educated mental health nurses with individual online practice education programme, undertaken in nurses' countries of origin prior to their arrival in England. They should already be familiar with the NMC registration pathways for international nurses and midwives. Content of this individual online support programme should enable the nurses to: * Feel fully prepared to undertake the NMC CBT exam for mental health nurses. * Access practice question bank for the NMC CBT exam for mental health nurses. * Access and complete bespoke modules prior to coming to the UK with content relating to delivering mental health nursing care in the NHS. * Resources produced must also be able to be downloaded and accessed offline for candidates with limited internet access across countries. * Resources delivered and adaptable for across countries, desktop and mobile devices, including adaptable to most browsers. * Resources produced should also be translatable and accessed across several languages including English, particularly Filipino, Hindi, French, Spanish and Arabic. In total, approximately a minimum of 400 mental health nurses will need to receive this individual online support prior to arriving to England. We would also ask the provider to have flexibility to increase these numbers and have the server/capacity to offer the opportunity for purchasing of licences to around 2-3000 nurses over a 24-month period. We would also require the awarded supplier to evaluate candidates' learning outcomes and experience of the platform and ability to demonstrate impact on the learners. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/311e4a93-4a4d-486f-b695-85413155fcba | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jul 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 25 Jul 2022 - 25 Jul 2024 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LTD (NHS SBS) | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L34 1PJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD71 East Merseyside | | Local authority | Knowsley | | Electoral ward | St Michaels | | Westminster constituency | Knowsley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 48931000 - Training software package - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80500000 - Training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80533100 - Computer training services - 80561000 - Health training services ## Release History - 1 Jul 2022 at 14:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/311e4a93-4a4d-486f-b695-85413155fcba ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/311e4a93-4a4d-486f-b695-85413155fcba 1st July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=49982&B=NHSSBS Additional data can be found in the documents - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/39 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
