The City of Edinburgh Council is conducting a procurement process titled "Award of Sensory Impairment Awareness and Skills Training" within the services industry category. The procurement period commenced on 17th September 2019 and is set to conclude on 16th September 2021. The primary objective of this training is to equip staff who interact with deaf, hard of hearing, deafened, and visually impaired individuals with the necessary skills and awareness. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of care provided by staff members, including community nurses and occupational therapists, who frequently engage with these groups.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those with expertise in sensory impairment. Companies that deliver training packages, such as e-learning modules and in-person courses, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Additionally, providers with a proven track record in community health training and those experienced in working with diverse individuals will find this procurement advantageous for business growth, as it aligns with increasing needs for awareness and support services within public sector organisations.

## Notice

The overall aim of sensory impairment awareness and skills training is to impart the skills for working with deaf* (Deaf BSL users, hard of hearing and deafened people, deafblind people) and people with a visual impairment to staff who regularly come into contact with adult members of these groups, e.g. community nurses, care home staff, occupational therapists, etc. It is anticipated that all staff will have completed awareness e-learning packages prior to attending these courses.
