Description
NHS South of England Procurement Services (SoEPS), acting on behalf of Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner) are commencing a tender for the provision of a E-portfolio for HEE Dental Foundation and Core Training - HEE, HEIW, NIMDTA.
The Authority is seeking to procure a provider organisation(s) [Supplier] to provide an e-portfolio service for a number of NHS Dental training programmes in England ("HEE"), Northern Ireland ("NIMDTA") and Wales ("HEIW"). Most NHS Dental training programmes in these countries are currently using (different) e-portfolios. Through this procurement we intend to unite the programmes and their (initially) approximately 2,000 trainees (plus trainers and administrators) onto one e-portfolio platform that fits our specification as closely as possible. We are not specifying whether the offering should be an off-the-shelf e-portfolio system or a bespoke build - we expect bidders to explain to us how they will meet our needs, using any of the above (or other) approaches they see as fitting.
Contract Dates:
01 September 2019 to 31 August 2023
(Implementation is 01 September 2019 to 31 August 2020 and Service provision is 01 September 2020 to 31 August 2023)
The maximum contract value, over four years is £249,000 (inclusive of VAT). The Commissioner retains the option to extend the contract by a further 2 year period.
