Description

Health Education England are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award to UCL.

The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal.

HEE is seeking a provider to provide assessment of competence for staff already working in IAPT services delivering Step 2 interventions to undertake an assessment of competence as an alternative to undertaking the full PWP training.
HEE believes that it is highly unlikely for any other supplier to be able to provide the following skills/tools provided by UCL as a current supplier for the following reasons:
1. UCL is already commissioned by HEE to deliver an BPS accredited PWP course.
2. UCL is an education provider who currently delivers an accredited PWP course to deliver the PWP competency assessment.
3. An unsuccessful tender for this work has been carried out in January 2021, UCL is the only supplier with the requisite expertise and experience to assist HEE in fulfilling the Mandate deliverables and actions of UK government policy. For the Specification, Contract and the Case for Direct Award please access the portal at:
https://health-family-contract-search.secure.force.com/?SearchType=Projects
All communications should be made via the messaging function on the Health Family eTendering portal.
If any provider has concerns with the commissioning intentions outlined within the published documentation, please raise this via the eTendering Portal in the first instance within 30 days of the date of this Prior Information Notice.
The financial envelope for this PIN is £450,000 inclusive of VAT
The closing date of this PIN is midday on 16 March 2022
