Description
NHS England (NHSE) are commencing a tender to support the provision for Aspirant Cancer Career and Education Development (ACCEND).
The aim of this procurement is to identify a provider(s) to support this new and ambitious multi-partnership programme that seeks to address significant challenges and issues that have faced the nursing and AHP workforce in cancer for many years, and which have been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. An essential element to address some of these challenges is to ensure that (1) a standardised QIS (Qualification in Speciality) - a Postgraduate Certificate and (2) a Professional development and clinical leadership module are created and aligned to the ACCEND Framework.
The QIS Postgraduate Certificate is aimed at registered nursing and allied health professionals to develop fundamental knowledge and capabilities about cancer, its treatments and care of people affected by cancer, alongside additional knowledge and capabilities to meet their role or service requirements. The 'Professional development and clinical leadership' module is for those seeking to develop their knowledge and capabilities in practice focused on clinical leadership.
It is the expectation of NHSE that successful providers delivering education programmes under the contracts resulting from this procurement will be appropriately skilled to provide the delivery of the Lots specified. There is also an expectation that providers will work with service to support placement activity to enhance clinical practice which is reflected in the funding cap per candidate.
NHSE is seeking to engage education providers, in higher education and/or clinical services, to develop and deliver the two following lots.
⢠Lot 1 - Qualification in specialty (QIS): Postgraduate Certificate in Cancer Care ⢠Lot 2 - Postgraduate module: Professional development and clinical leadership in cancer care
This is an exciting opportunity to support NHS England with this provision.
The maximum financial envelope for this procurement exercise is £635,000 Exclusive of Vat (Lot 1 - £435,000 Ex Vat / Lot 2 - £200,000 Ex Vat) and the contract period will be for one (1) year, with an option to extend by an additional one (1) year subject to a review of performance and available budget.
The deadline for completed ITT submissions will be 2nd October 2023 at 12:00pm (midday).
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.
