### Lot Information

Lot 1

Health Education England (HEE), in partnership with NHS England and Improvement and Her Majesty's Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS), is seeking to engage with a provider (or consortium of providers) to deliver a co-produced, central hub (the 'Hub') to provide national quality assurance and oversight of all Knowledge and Understanding Framework (KUF) training. The KUF programmes aim to support growth of skills and knowledge of the workforce across the health, criminal justice and third sector, to effectively support those with complex mental health needs associated with a diagnosis of 'personality disorder'. The initial programme period of three years will be a maximum value of up to PS4,500,000 inclusive of VAT. However, this is based upon the contract price for years 2 and 3 being negotiated on an annual basis, based upon levels of training demand. If training numbers increase significantly, the Authority reserves the right to flex the maximum value to up to 20%.
