## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by NHS Education for Scotland, focusing on the delivery of accredited modules for General Practice Nursing. This procurement falls under the education and training services category, with a total of five lots available: Diabetes, Minor Illness, Minor Injuries, Sexual Health, and Long-Term Conditions Generic. The current stage of the procurement is complete, with contracts for several lots already awarded to various suppliers including Edinburgh Napier University and the University of Dundee. The tender process was initiated on 21st March 2022, with a previous cycle starting in June 2021, demonstrating a sustained effort to enhance nursing education.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses engaged in educational services, particularly those specialising in healthcare training and modules for nurses. Companies that focus on developing educational materials or training programmes relevant to nurses, primary healthcare practitioners, or similar fields would be particularly well-suited to compete. The open procurement method encourages participation from a wide range of providers, allowing for innovative solutions to meet the training needs of healthcare professionals.

## Notice

Delivery of one or more accredited modules relevant to nurses working in general practice (see Table 1). The content of modules has been informed by an educational needs analysis (ENA) which was completed in May 2021 (available at https://www.nes.scot.nhs.uk/our-work/general-practice-nursing-gpn/). More detailed ENA results are available on request. Funding is for GPNs; however, these modules may also be of interest to other nurses, particularly those working in primary care settings such as district nurses, nurse practitioners and advanced nurse practitioners.
