This procurement falls under the industry category of Education and training services. The buying organisation, HEE, is located in Leeds, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently active with a contract period starting from January 17, 2023, to March 31, 2023. The tender deadline is set for January 16, 2023, with a contract value of 75,000 GBP. This tender provides an opportunity for businesses in the education and training services sector to engage with HEE. The procurement method used is direct, and the specific deliverable is aimed at recruiting a further 50 Allied Health Professional (AHP) returners to the NHS. Businesses well-suited to compete in this tender are those with expertise in developing online return-to-practice programmes for healthcare professionals and a strong track record of engagement with public bodies related to healthcare service delivery. ## Notice HEE commissioned 2 suppliers, to deliver an innovative and flexible On-Line RtP Programme to support HEE Health & Care Professions Council returners to meet the minimum requirements of the HCPC RtP standards. Coventry University were one of the successful bidders. As part of the initial commission, Coventry was required to recruit and support 50 returners to meet the minimum criteria to return to the HCPC register. They have now reached this threshold and are seeking additional funding to support future returners. Coventry has 15 returners now placed on hold with further enquires in the system therefore unable to recruit any further HEE returners to the programme. Future returners will need to self-fund at PS1,500 for two modules. They anticipate being able to support an additional 50 HEE returners.
