This procurement falls under the health sector and is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline on 21st December 2017. The procurement process is being conducted using an open procedure, allowing any interested business to bid. The contract aims to improve the skills of nurses in line with public health needs and is part of a significant investment from the Scottish Government aiming for comprehensive services in primary care. This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the education and training sector, specifically those with expertise in healthcare education and skills development. Companies specialising in nurse training, professional development workshops, or healthcare consultancy would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the chosen suppliers are expected to deliver specific residential courses on various skills, including consultation and triage, over March 2018. With the potential for contract extensions into the next financial year, firms could secure ongoing work within the increasingly critical healthcare sector in Scotland. ## Notice NHS Education for Scotland has been commissioned by the Primary Care Division within the Scottish Government to manage a significant investment in General Practice Nursing (GPN education). The purpose of this funding is to support GPN role development in line with the Chief Nursing Officer's Transforming Roles programme, enabling nurses to meet the changing health and care needs of Scotland's population. This includes the increasingly complex needs of individuals and communities and increasing demands on primary care services as the balance of care shifts from hospital to the community. In addition, the new General Medical Services contract is likely to impact significantly on the GPN role as part of the multidisciplinary primary care team. ### Lot Information Developing triage skills The chosen supplier will be required to provide the service on the 3rd and 4th March 2018.
