This project falls under the industry category of miscellaneous health services and is located in England. Currently in the tender stage, the deadline for submissions is set for 21st October 2021. The estimated contract value is £150,000, with a minimum value of £145,000. This open procurement follows an open procedure, with the contract period beginning on 6th December 2021 and ending on 22nd March 2023. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in educational and training programme assessments within the health sector. Companies specialising in health education and accreditation are particularly well-suited to compete, as they can leverage their expertise to develop standards and implement systems for accreditation and assessment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as this project aims to support their growth in the un-registered foot health workforce. ## Notice Scope of contract HEE is seeking to fund a supplier to establish (and subsequently operationally deliver) the following. * A system of accreditation of education and training programmes against the Standards. The programmes to be accredited are those which prepare students for roles in the un-registered foot health workforce once qualified. * A system of assessment of individual practitioners in the un-registered foot health workforce against the Standards. At their simplest, these processes typically entail the following. * Documentary evidence submitted by an education provider about a programme, or by an individual, against the Standards. * Assessment of that evidence against the Standards by peer reviewers - normally clinical practitioners and educators in the field. * A final decision (often made by a Committee or similar) about whether the programme or individual meets the Standards or whether further information or action is required to meet the Standards. * In the case of programme accreditation, a process for ongoing monitoring of programmes and/or periodic reassessment against the Standards (for example, reaccreditation required every five years). Detailed activities required in the set-up phase will be determined by and agreed with the appointed supplier, but they will include the following. Development of standards * The supplier will be required to develop standards which programmes seeking accreditation will be required to meet - 'Standards of education and training' (or their equivalent). These standards must clearly articulate what education providers need to have in place for students to meet the competencies described in the Foot Health Standards. This includes, for example, that a programme has sufficient resources and adequate arrangements for safe and effective clinical learning. * These standards must include clear benchmarks for the volume of learning typically required to deliver the competencies outlined in the Standards at each educational level. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/34ac67c5-ce8f-440b-8f53-436570e86464 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | 21 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Dec 2021 - 22 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HEALTH EDUCATION ENGLAND | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85140000 - Miscellaneous health services ## Release History - 8 Oct 2021 at 14:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/34ac67c5-ce8f-440b-8f53-436570e86464 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/34ac67c5-ce8f-440b-8f53-436570e86464 8th October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://-https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=40bb618e-0a24-e611-8114-000c29c9ba21&v=2 Link to Documents on ProContract ## Notice URLs - http://- - https://hee.nhs.uk/ - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=40bb618e-0a24-e611-8114-000c29c9ba21&v=2 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
