## Summary

This procurement process is at the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 16th August 2021. The contract value is approximately £220,000, and the successful bidder will facilitate the expansion of the NHS Rainbow Badge project, promoting LGBT awareness and inclusion across NHS organisations throughout the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in project management, diversity training, and organisational development.

## Notice

NHS England is seeking a provider to support the roll-out of the NHS Rainbow Badge Phase II pilot to the next stage. The aim of this is to scale and spread the pilot model, to build in a more systematic approach to LGBT awareness and inclusion within NHS organisations, and to address issues around monitoring, culture, education and training of the workforce more consistently. Development of a sustainable model (e.g. through organisational buy-in) will also be key to building longevity of the work.

A pilot project of 'Phase II' is currently in place to explore how a benchmarking scheme may benefit NHS organisations taking part in the NHS Rainbow Badge, through a bronze, silver, gold award scheme.
