The procurement process is for the contract titled "Enhanced Level Practice Allied Health Professions (AHPs)" in the education and training services category. The tender is located in Leeds, United Kingdom, with a total contract value of £3,000,000. The procurement method is an open procedure above the threshold stage. The tender deadline is 31st October 2022, with the contract period scheduled to start on 24th November 2022 and end on 31st March 2025. This tender provides an opportunity for businesses focused on education and training services to compete for a substantial contract with Health Education England. Companies well-suited for this tender are those with experience in providing enhanced level practice education in health and social care environments. This opportunity can lead to business growth by securing a significant contract value and establishing long-term relationships with a key healthcare authority. Businesses with expertise in upskilling clinical staff and developing career pathways are especially encouraged to participate in this tender. ## Notice The Long Term Plan (LTP), the AHP strategy for England - AHPs Deliver , and future workforce strategies point to the need for improved career pathways for staff with associated funding for education and training. This will optimise the potential of the workforce ensuring the professions continually develop and update the skills they need to deliver their full scope of practice across the length of their career. As a critical element of the education and training reform agenda this will also help to retain our valued staff, many of whom leave in their early to mid-stage careers at a significant loss to health and social care providers. Enhanced practice education is seen as a key part of this pathway for each profession. The enhanced clinical practitioner apprenticeship was approved for delivery in May 2021 and provides a formal educational pathway for clinical staff in their early to mid-careers. It is envisioned to become the accepted route to train, creating an education pathway to optimise upskilling of clinical skills and practice. It will be targeted at experienced clinicians (established Band 6s for example), occupying a space following qualification and preceptorship, whilst preceding advanced practice in terms of the clinical management of complexity and uncertainty across health and social care. The majority of the professional workforce operates at the enhanced level practice. Enhanced level practice can be the precursor to advanced level practice, or it can be a valued workplace destination also in its own right. Clinicians working at an enhanced level of practice have many job titles and roles across many different professions within health and social care environments. They usually work as part of a multidisciplinary team and apply their skills, education, and experience to substantially contribute to episodes of care. Although they work across different settings or spheres of practice, they will often have a focused skillset and depth of knowledge related to their individual sphere of practice where it intersects with professional knowledge related to the job roles their employers require. They tend to have undertaken post registration education relevant to their profession, area of practice and role.
