This initiative falls under the research and development services category and encompasses the revision of the Association of Pharmacy Technicians UK's Foundation Practice Framework for Pharmacy Technicians. The tender is in the active stage, with submissions due by 21st July 2019. The project will be carried out in various locations including the United Kingdom and overseas British territories, with an estimated contract value between £25,000 and £50,000. This procurement will follow an open procedure method. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for consultancy and research firms specialising in workforce analysis and curriculum development. Businesses focusing on education, training, and professional standards within the healthcare sector would be particularly well-suited to participate. Companies that are adept at conducting systematic role analyses and possessing a strong understanding of the Pharmacy Technician pathway will find this opportunity particularly relevant, enabling them to contribute to shaping future professional standards within the industry. ## Notice Health Education England (HEE) and the Association of Pharmacy Technicians UK (APTUK) are currently scoping the Pharmacy Technician career pathway and will be revising APTUK's Foundation Practice Framework for Pharmacy Technicians. To inform this work, they have agreed to co-commission a role analysis of a Foundation Pharmacy Technician; that is a newly qualified Pharmacy Technician in their first two years of practice. A role or job analysis is a systematic process for collecting and analysing information and providing objective impartial evidence to inform selection and curriculum development. An effective curriculum requires a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the relevant knowledge, skills, competencies, values and other professional attributes necessary for the role being considered. A role analysis should be future focused and comprehensive and, whenever possible, findings should be strengthened through triangulation. This role analysis will be expected to underpin and guide the design and review of APTUK's UK wide Foundation Practice Framework for Pharmacy Technician that will inform professional capabilities to be tested at the point of entry, during the development at this level and upon completion of the programme.
