This initiative falls under the education and training services industry and is set to take place in the South West of England. The planned procurement, which has an estimated budget of £3,000,000, will be conducted using an Open Procedure as per the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Key dates include a market engagement session on 13th January 2020 in Bristol, with the Invitation to Tender (ITT) expected to be published in February 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating within the education and training sector, especially those specialising in psychological therapies or related educational services. Companies focused on delivering training in High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner training, or supervision training would be particularly well-suited to compete. The market engagement session will offer a platform for potential providers to better understand the tender's objectives and to network, potentially influencing their proposals for this significant contract. ## Notice NHS South of England Procurement Services, acting on behalf of Health Education England (the Commissioner) will be commencing a tender for the delivery of Adult Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (Talking Therapies) education in the South West. The education contract will take account of the development needs of the existing Talking Therapies workforce as well as those of the future workforce. The contract will cover, but may not be limited to, High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training (the HI Programme); Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner training (the PWP Programme); Supervision training (the Supervision Programme); and other associated modalities/education. This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to advise prospective providers of the Commissioners intention. We also plan to hold a Market Engagement session in Bristol at Park House, 1200 Parkway North, Newbrick Road, Stoke Gifford, Bristol BS34 8YU on the 13th January 2020 from 11.00-13.00. This will provide an opportunity for potential providers to find out more about the aims of the tender and contracts, the process involved as well as network with others. HEE will use the opportunity to gather intelligence from providers which may influence the final tender.
