Description
Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner) are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award.
Please note the contracting authority intends to direct award the contract to Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal.
HEE believe that Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is the only supplier who can support the above programme requirements until 31 March 2022, with their knowledge and experience (since 2017) in order to maintain continuity and provide the expertise necessary to develop and undertake a maturity modelling exercise of NHS Trusts that could support Wave 2 industry placements.
Due to the length of the contract, seamless continuity is paramount. If the existing supplier cannot continue to provide the current service to HEE, it is believed that the impact on the service will be detrimental for a number of reasons:
Transition to a new supplier would mean the need for comprehensive induction to the work and organisational memory for the work would be lost, this will mean that timely delivery would not be achieved
Loss of links and relationships with Talent for Care Apprenticeship Relationship Managers and regional networks, preventing effective communication and engagement to deliver the Maturity modelling tool
Failure to effectively analyse and act on data collected with Maturity modelling tool thus failing to meet deadlines
The financial envelope for the contract is £20,000.00
For the Specification, Contract and the Case for Direct Award please access the portal at:

Please access the portal for all documents.
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 closing date of this PIN is midday on Thursday, 9th December 2021
