This initiative is focused on providing a higher-level qualification in Genomics for Nurses and Midwives, and is classified under the education and training services sector. The tender is currently in the open procurement stage, with submissions due by 23 August 2021. The contract period is set to commence on 5 September 2021 and last for 18 months, with a possible extension depending on budget availability. The total estimated value of the contract is £180,000, and the service is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations involved in educational services and healthcare training, particularly those specialising in genomic medicine. Businesses providing innovative, blended learning courses geared towards healthcare professionals would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. With the evolving landscape of NHS Genomic Medicine Services, providers who can demonstrate expertise and successful track records in delivering training programmes will be in a strong position to benefit and grow their presence in this sector. ## Notice Background The Genomics Education Programme (GEP) was established in 2014 following an initial investment from the Department of Health to pump prime genomic education and training activity to support the delivery of the 100,000 Genomes Project. At the beginning of financial year 2018/19 the GEP became part of business as usual within Health Education England (HEE) and in collaboration with NHS England (NHSE) continues to support the newly launched NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS). As the GMS evolves the GEP has a role in the education and training required to upskill and support the healthcare workforce in the delivery of the new service. Beyond this there is also scope to provide the same for the wider NHS workforce. As nursing is one of the largest groups within the NHS it is imperative, we ensure they have the right knowledge, skills and behaviours to deliver the service. In 2020 the GEP funded 30 nurses to undertake an online CPD course which ran over a 15-week period, designed for nurses with little-to-no previous knowledge of genomics, the success of this course led to a HEE GEP funding the course to run for a further 3 years. The GEP would now like to provide a higher-level qualification for Nurses and Midwives to build on foundation knowledge. The GEP are seeking bids from suitable providers to deliver a 60 credit, level 7, PGCert for professional development in Genomics for Nurses and Midwives provided over an 18-month period. Scope of the Contract The GEP want to provide the opportunity for nurses to obtain a higher-level qualification in Genomics. The Authority is inviting quotations for the provision of an innovative, post-graduate blended learning course in Genomics for a funded cohort of nurses at Clinical Nurse Specialist or equivalent level. A contract would cover 18 months (with the option to extend for a further 18 months dependent on GEP budget allocation). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f3ec91b-fb0f-4329-a8bc-dadaad85974d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | 23 Aug 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Sep 2021 - 1 Sep 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £180,000 | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 21 Jul 2021 at 10:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f3ec91b-fb0f-4329-a8bc-dadaad85974d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f3ec91b-fb0f-4329-a8bc-dadaad85974d 21st July 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://hee.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
