The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with a deadline for submission on 7th June 2018. The contract is set to commence on 24th June 2018 and will run until 23rd June 2020. This opportunity falls within the health services category, and submissions are welcomed from businesses capable of delivering complex technical guidance and training within the UK and beyond. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the healthcare training and consultancy sectors to expand their offerings. Companies that specialise in NHS regulations, training course development, or financial modelling related to healthcare contracts would be particularly well-suited to compete. By leveraging this contract, successful bidders can enhance their partnerships with NHS organisations, ultimately driving growth through sustained service delivery and engagement with a significant cohort of NHS staff. ## Notice The NHS acute contract and payment rules are a highly specialised, complex and ever evolving area. It is a service area which the CSU provides to CCGs and NHS England Commissioning Hubs via various service lines, most significantly through the Information Service. AGEM would like to commission an on-demand expert advice and guidance service, where complex technical queries about the NHS contracting and payment rules from anyone in the CSU can be emailed to a central point, with comprehensive answers linked to the official documentation. In addition, AGEM requires an online training portal for all CSU staff to develop their knowledge of the National Tariff Payment System, which includes a National Tariff course and qualification, accredited by the NHS Financial Services Development Network. This should be updated each year in line with the release of new national guidance. As an optional additional element, AGEM is also looking for a service in supporting internal staff in benchmarking and modelling costs relating to acute contracts. We are an NHS organisation with around 150 Business Intelligence and Contracting staff, of which approximately 75 work in the area of National Tariff for acute NHS commissioning.
