## Summary

The NHS England is seeking a provider for the development and delivery of a Peer Support Worker training course focused on eating disorders in the South West region. This project falls under the health services category and involves significant engagement with medical specialist services. Key activities include the establishment of a complete training framework and the subsequent delivery of multiple training sessions, which are set to begin in the 2022/2023 financial year. The procurement method for this opportunity is classified as 'limited' and does not involve a prior publication of a call for competition, as identified in the market review.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in specialist training services, particularly those with expertise in peer support frameworks and education within the health sector. Companies that provide training programs for health professionals or have a background in psychological support services would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, organisations that could manage community engagement initiatives or offer supervised training might find this tender particularly advantageous for expanding their service offerings and enhancing their presence in the healthcare training market.

* Seek examples of good practice among NHS ED services in training peer support workers, take the best of this and improve it where necessary, and create a high quality 5-day course providing people with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate as a peer support worker in any CEDS setting. This course would include pre-recorded sessions but would also require live delivery. It would be supported by access to a weekly community of practice over Zoom facilitated by an experienced clinician.

* Deliver two pilots of the basic course, via Zoom or equivalent, evaluating and reviewing the content and approach as necessary after each. Deliver 1 basic course per year for 2 consecutive years beginning in year 22/23.

* Deliver training thereafter to peer support workers in cohorts of 12 per course, via Zoom or equivalent. Deliver 1 course per year for 2 consecutive years beginning in year 22/23.

* Develop a 1.5 day supervisor training course to ensure that relevant NHS staff are fully able to provide supervision to peer support workers once they are actively employed by the ED services.

* Deliver one course to a cohort of up to 10 supervisors identified by the ED services. These will be people who are already competent in supervision with experience of supervising peer support workers or lived experience workers. One year only.

* Provide a community of practice over Zoom facilitated by an experienced clinician, available to peer support workers and supervisors on alternate weeks.

* Recruit and employ a Coordinator to project manage and ensure the effective delivery and evaluation of this project, including outreach to services to encourage buy-in from services and, as needed, to support PSW recruitment, roll out of the approach to other NHSE regions, etc. the Coordinator is employed on a 0.6 FTE basis;
