## Summary

The NHS Education for Scotland is currently engaged in an open procurement process for the tender titled "C001927 Listening to Hear Supporting a person in suicidal crisis." This initiative falls under the health sector and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The tender period is set to conclude on 7 January 2022, with bid openings scheduled for the same day. The project aims to develop written content for a digital resource aimed at enhancing practitioners' skills in managing sensitive conversations regarding suicide and self-harm with individuals in crisis.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those with expertise in mental health training, content development, and digital resource creation. Companies that can demonstrate experience in producing educational materials or training programmes tailored to healthcare professionals would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. There is also potential for ongoing collaboration, as the contract may be extended based on value for money and needs for further content development in the following year.

## Notice
