## Summary

The procurement process for the "Functional Skills Diagnostic and Upskilling Software" contract is being conducted by Health Education England, a public body located in Leeds, UK. This open procedure falls under the education and training services category, specifically aimed at providing software for functional skills in maths, English, and digital literacy to various NHS employers. The contract was signed on 22nd February 2021, with an estimated contract value of £155,000. The tender is currently complete, having previously attracted a total of five bids, all of which were electronic submissions.

This contracting process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational software, particularly those focused on functional skills training. With the prospect of serving approximately 100 large-scale NHS Trust employers and potentially much larger cohorts, suitable candidates would include SMEs with proven solutions that enhance learner engagement and can demonstrate a commitment to customer satisfaction. The emphasis on quality criteria in the award process highlights the importance of innovative and effective educational tools in this sector.

## Notice

The Supplier shall provide software to support the study of maths, English and digital skills (aka functional skills) which we will then contract out to NHS employers on a case-by-case basis. Based on current projections, we envision that we will establish contracts with around 100 large-scale employers i.e. NHS Trusts, where there will be cohorts of learners varying in size from 20 to 2,000. This number is only an estimate however and the supplier must be able to provide service to substantially more large employers than this figure, if required.
