## Summary

The procurement process is led by Health Education England, focusing on the project titled "Health Education England - Action Research Improving Transition of Medic-Learner." This initiative falls within the Education and training services industry category and is based in Leeds, England. The procurement stage is currently at the Planning phase, with the Prior Information Notice (PIN) published on 9 December 2021. Interested parties should note that the deadline for raising concerns regarding the commissioning intentions is 10 January 2022, while the contract period is set to commence on 24 January 2022 and conclude on 8 April 2022. The total contract value is estimated at £15,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations that specialise in education and training services, particularly those with expertise in supporting disabled individuals or those with neurodiversity. Businesses that can provide unique insights or have strong connections with key stakeholders in this field may find themselves well-positioned to compete. As Health Education England has determined that Diversity and Ability is the only relevant provider, this situation creates a unique chance for companies offering similar services, especially those that can demonstrate lived experience and tailored support for medic-learners transitioning into the workforce.

## Notice

Health Education England are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award to Diversity and Ability. The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal. Heath Education England [HEE] believe that Diversity and Ability is the only organisation capable meeting the specific requirements for undertaking Action Research Improving Transition of Medic-Learners to the Workplace. HEE believes that it is highly unlikely for any other supplier to be able to provide the following skills/tools provided by Diversity & Ability (D&A) as a current supplier for the following reasons: It is the only supplier in the education and statutory interface space. It has access to a workforce with lived experience of disability. 85% of the team at D&A self-identify as disabled or neuro diverse. It therefore has access to expertise that is not replicable across other suppliers. D&A has access to National Union of Students, the Disabled Student's Council and HEI's. These groups are key stakeholder networks for this programme of work able to advise and support action research. D&A already work with a range of organisations representing and/or supporting the needs of disabled people in the UK. These include well known organisations such as Disability Rights UK and Brain in Hand technology organisation. D&A's partners mean that D&A have access to insights that may not be replicable across other suppliers. For the Specification, Contract and the Case for Direct Award please access the portal at: https://health-family-contract-search.secure.force.com/?SearchType=Projects All communications should be made via the messaging function on the Health Family eTendering portal. If any provider has concerns with the commissioning intentions outlined within the published documentation, please raise this via the eTendering Portal in the first instance within 30 days of the date of this Prior Information Notice. The closing date of this PIN is midday on 10 January 2021
