The project, titled "Training for health professionals on consanguinity," falls under the education and training services industry category, with a budget of £32,000 including VAT. Located in Leeds, England, this procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date of 6th July 2021 and a project launch targeted for October 2021. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for training and education service providers, particularly those specialising in health training and cultural sensitivity. Businesses offering e-learning development, instructional design, graphic design, and animation services are well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, firms that can demonstrate experience in project management and evaluation of education modules will have a competitive edge in fulfilling the needs outlined by NHS England. ## Notice NHS England is seeking to procure a training package to be accessible online to health and social care professionals on cultural sensitivity and inter-cultural communication skills, genetic risk associated with consanguinity and referral pathways. An online training course is currently available as part of e-Learning for Health's (eLfH) Genomics Education Programme and this proposed training will need to link up with this. The eLearning modules will be used to support initial and refresher training sessions for midwives and health visitors taking on new roles, as well as other professionals working within areas of high need receiving support/investment. Following evaluative feedback, the eLearning modules will need to be refined to ensure utility for independent study and made more widely available to interested healthcare professionals. This training package will be comprised of six 45 minute modules covering: * Social and cultural aspects of consanguinity * Genetics and consanguinity what are the implications? Levels and patterns of risk. * Why is this a health care issue? Unmet need and missed opportunities * Policy developments over time; multi-professional working and developing a coordinated response * Engaging under-served communities with genetics: what are the challenges and opportunities? Culturally competent and effective communication about genetic risk and genetic services * Community Engagement/raising genetic literacy * Transcultural genetic counselling for genetic counsellors * Other Specific sessions developed for Health visitors, GPs and midwives specific to their job roles and referral routes * Assessing success, monitoring progress We will require: * A scoping session * Design and development of eLearning sessions, including project management and instructional design services * Graphic design services * Animation * Implementation on an electronic learning site which can be accessed for free by NHS professionals * A communication strategy * Evaluation of the modules and changes made accordingly. The budget for the development and delivery of this training package is PS32,000 inc. VAT. We are aiming to start the project in August 2021 and launch the training package by October 2021 at the latest. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/046e84cb-9e3b-466a-8966-3e56530ef85b | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 6 Jul 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £32,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ENGLAND AND IMPROVEMENT | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS2 7UE | | 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 - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80561000 - Health training services ## Release History - 15 Jun 2021 at 10:49 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/046e84cb-9e3b-466a-8966-3e56530ef85b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/046e84cb-9e3b-466a-8966-3e56530ef85b 15th June 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
