This contract, classified under "Health services" (CPV 85100000), is currently in the planning stage. The services are to be provided across multiple locations including Plymouth, Exeter, Truro, Torbay, and Taunton. A significant milestone is on August 1, 2024, when a future notice will be communicated. This tender involves ensuring that approximately 1400 new student entrants per year complete occupational health screenings and receive necessary treatments to ensure their safety and fitness to practise in healthcare settings. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with experience in occupational health and working within educational institutions. Enterprises with capabilities in conducting health screenings, providing follow-up treatments, and managing health records would be well-suited for this contract. The chosen provider will play a pivotal role in supporting the University's health and social care education programmes, aligning with professional standards and ensuring student readiness for practical training environments. Engaging in this procurement process could present growth opportunities for businesses looking to expand their footprint in the educational and healthcare sectors. ## Notice see spec within EU Supply ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Faculty is a provider of multiple health and social care education programmes, all of which involve our students spending a significant element of their time in practice settings such as in-patient, (including wards and theatres), out-patient and within patient's/service users own homes', learning their skills alongside professionally qualified staff and being involved in the assessment and treatment of patients. As such, we are required to ensure that our students are 'safe' to be in these environments, presenting no health risks of any description to the public. Equally, we must ensure that as well as being professionally qualified they are 'fit to practise' as staff in the NHS and other independent health care providers. All students who accept places on our programmes - about 1400 new entrants per year - are required to complete an occupational health screening form as part of the admissions processes. The chosen provider will participate in main induction events and interview students (as required) based on the content of their health screening forms to ascertain requirements then schedule the necessary treatments at the relevant sites. The provider will also be responsible for scheduling follow-up treatments and keeping the Faculty informed of missed appointments as well as any particular issues which affect the students' ability to undertake their practical training. Students returning after a short break from the programme require repeat screening and may require treatments; referrals can occur at any stage in a student's training. Of particular importance is the requirement to provide clear and unambiguous recommendations regarding the suitability of students to enter practice and any limitations/adjustments which may be required to ensure the safety of the student and the patients while meeting the professional requirements of the students' training. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023939-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Jul 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH | | Locality | PLYMOUTH, DEVON | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL4 8AA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | Drake | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Sutton and Devonport | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 31 Jul 2024 at 11:19 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023939-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=84239&B=UNIVERSITYPLYMOUTH - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/97185 - https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/about-us/university-structure/service-areas/procurement ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
