This tender, titled "National Procurement, Healthcare Science Apprenticeships L2 & L4, CardioRespiratory Pathways," is classified under the CPV category of Education and training services. The procurement process, which is at the Tender stage, has a submission deadline of 26th July 2021 and an award period commencing 27th July 2021. The total value of the contracts is approximately £1,000,000 and covers placements for 94 apprentices across the UK, targeting multiple regions including London and the North West. This procurement presents significant opportunities for training providers and educational institutions specialising in healthcare science, particularly those able to deliver specific CardioRespiratory training units. Given the recent emphasis on enhancing diagnostic services within the NHS in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses that can demonstrate a capability to effectively train apprentices at either Level 2 or Level 4 standards would be well-positioned to compete. The initiative is also supported by a training grant of £15,000 per apprentice, which can further incentivise potential bidders and promote a sustainable workforce within the healthcare sector. ## Notice Provision of CardioRespiratory pathways within the Healthcare Science Assistant / Healthcare Science Associate apprenticeship standards. Health Education England (HEE) are working with employers to develop and run a Pilot Healthcare Science - Cardiorespiratory (HCS-CR) Apprenticeship, (including the Level 2 Diploma or Level 4 Diploma in Healthcare Science) Pilot for 94 apprentices (at either level 2 or level 4) commencing September 2021. Training providers who can deliver the specific cardiorespiratory units are required to deliver the successful outcomes of this pilot. This is a national pilot; therefore, apprentices will be located across the seven HEE regions; North East & Yorkshire, North West, Midlands, East of England, South East, South West and London. The recent national report for NHS England by Professor Sir Mike Richards: Diagnostics: Recovery and Renewal in England highlighted the Covid-19 pandemic has increased the need "for radical change in the provision of diagnostic services." And, more needs to be done such as new strategies for the development of the non-registrant healthcare science workforce using apprenticeships. New workforce and education models are required to ensure a sustainable pipeline of staff with the specific knowledge and skills required for cardiorespiratory services. HEE will provide a contributory one off training grant of PS15,000 per apprentice to NHS Trusts should the departments application is successful. This funding will be paid to the Trusts/sites in to develop the programme, prepare for the apprentices and support them through the training programme. It will be a condition of award that providers contract pilot programme apprentices via this Procurement. ### Lot Information Lot One - Healthcare Science Assistant (ST0218) Apprenticeship Health Education England (HEE) are working with employers to develop and run a Pilot Healthcare Science - Cardiorespiratory (HCS-CR) Apprenticeship, (including the Level 2 Diploma or Level 4 Diploma in Healthcare Science) Pilot for 94 apprentices (at either level 2 or level 4) commencing September 2021.
