Description

NHSE seeks to procure the provision of an on-line 10-week university-based programme of training for those midwives and nurses working in maternity and neonatal services to train as Professional midwifery Advocate and Professional Nurse Advocate. This would be for up to 150 training places at a cost of £1000 per head, it is to be taught and assessed at Masters level (level 7 equivalent).

This will be a one stage open procurement procedure under LTR (Below threshold).

The intention is to award contracts to multiple providers. There are five cohorts of 30 learners available, suppliers may bid for a maximum of two cohorts.

Cohorts will be awarded based on supplier ranking, with suppliers awarded their requested number of cohorts until all five have been awarded. For the avoidance of doubt, should the remaining number of cohorts be unviable for the supplier that is approached, NHS England will award to the next supplier (based on ranking) that can deliver.

The maximum price per learner is £1,000.00

The total value of contracts shall not exceed the available budget of £150,000.00

The contract period will be 5 months .

The deadline for submission of completed ITT submissions is 28th November at 12:00pm (midday).
