Description
Health Education England are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award to Diversity and Ability.
The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal.
Heath Education England [HEE] believe that Diversity and Ability is the only organisation capable meeting the specific requirements for undertaking Action Research Improving Transition of Medic-Learners to the Workplace.
HEE believes that it is highly unlikely for any other supplier to be able to provide the following skills/tools provided by Diversity & Ability (D&A) as a current supplier for the following reasons:
It is the only supplier in the education and statutory interface space.
It has access to a workforce with lived experience of disability. 85% of the team at D&A self-identify as disabled or neuro diverse. It therefore has access to expertise that is not replicable across other suppliers.
D&A has access to National Union of Students, the Disabled Student's Council and HEI's. These groups are key stakeholder networks for this programme of work able to advise and support action research.
D&A already work with a range of organisations representing and/or supporting the needs of disabled people in the UK. These include well known organisations such as Disability Rights UK and Brain in Hand technology organisation. D&A's partners mean that D&A have access to insights that may not be replicable across other suppliers.
For the Specification, Contract and the Case for Direct Award please access the portal at:

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 10 January 2021
