It has been identified that, across all Critical Care units, this training is to be delivered to some 11,000 and more clinicians over the next four years.

Bidders must demonstrate an ability to work in partnership with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs), Acute health service providers or critical care service leaders to attract and recruit individuals who meet or exceed the agreed entry levels for the provision being offered.

Submissions are welcome from education providers who can provide this training at one or more of the geographical locations outlined within the tender documentation.

Late submissions will not be accepted therefore, please submit in good time prior to the deadline date and time. All communications should be made via the messaging function on the e-Tendering portal during the tender exercise.
