Description

On behalf of London region public sector employers, Salisbury are creating a Framework for the provision of employer-funded (non apprenticeship) education programmes. This is consistent with the drive nationally to ensure that the clinical workforce (which includes nursing, midwifery and allied health professionals) have access to programmes to develop their personal and professional knowledge and capabilities.

Programmes offered will vary; and uptake will depend on the funding streams used by employers. The purpose of this framework is for employers to use a variety of funding streams available to purchase required education and training.

Providers should complete the Response Template ensuring that all their offered programmes are fully described and that all columns are completed. This will then be available for employers to view and engage directly with the provider should they have an interest in the offered programme. HEE London will not be coordinating places and cohort allocations, therefore providers will need to be able to work across multiple employers directly.

Organisations accepted onto the Framework should understand there is no guarantee of business, and any subsequent award by an employer is subject to NHS Terms & Conditions (published on Bravo). Contracts will only be valid when issued with a Unique Reference Number by Salisbury following an employer request, and are always non-exclusive and subject to ongoing quality monitoring.

All responses must be submitted solely through Salisbury's Bravo procurement portal - https://nhs.bravosolution.co.uk/nhs_collaborative/web/login.html
