(AWARD NOTICE) National CPD/Workforce Education Framework (Non Apprenticeship)

Description

This is the annual opening of the CPD/Workforce Education (non Apprenticeships) framework. DO NOT respond to list Apprenticeships - there is a seperate framework open in October 2024. Please read the Requirements document attached carefully - this Framework covers the provision and delivery of workforce education, across all disciplines and professions, ranging from short courses to entire degree programmes. The Framework is open across all our eligible public and third sector organisations. Employers may select providers by either Direct Award from the Course Listing, or by Further Competition managed via Salisbury. In June 2023, the Cabinet Office introduced a new national Supplier Questionnaire (SQ) document across government. For the purposes of public procurement, NHS organisations are classed as central government bodies. Suppliers applying to this framework (C1546.390) for the first time must complete the SQ document or, if they have already completed the new (March 23) SQ for other authorities or electronically, may submit a copy of that with their Framework response. Organisations listed on the Framework from the 2022 opening need not complete the SQ document. Within the SQ, reference is made to suppliers with £5m or more spend across government (e.g. Carbon Reduction and Social Value sections). When assessing if you need to reply to those questions, this is your total spend across that sector, including all NHS organisations aggregated. You may not break spend down into individual organisations in order to avoid answering the relevant sections. All Providers must agree to the Framework terms and conditions published - amendments to those Terms will not be made for specific providers. Please note the final selection of providers to award is a decision for employers and this Framework does not represent a spend commitment by any organisation. This Requirement is for the July 2024 opening of the Framework, to allow for the following : 1 - Existing providers to update their course listing (using the Excel document issued only) 2 - New providers to apply to join the Framework Fully completed responses MUST be submitted in accordance with the following : • Submitted by the close date via email to BOTH sft.commercial@nhs.net AND simon.dennis@nhs.net • Submissions MUST be fully completed - the Excel response document MUST be correctly completed. • Bids where the Bidder has applied filters, changed the sort order, or otherwise altered the original content or format, will be rejected. • The Response MUST be saved with a filename in the following convention only : C1546_390_YourSupplierName_July 2024 Response Additional information: The following Contracting Authorities are entitled to place Orders: Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust and all bodies listed below : Central Government Departments, Local Government and Public Corporations : https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations Please note Central Government departments may be subject to Government Digital Service approval before using the Framework Agreement.
