Accreditation of Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training

Description

NHS England seeks to commission accreditation services for the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training is the standardised and preferred training for health and social care staff. It has been specifically developed for this purpose and is co-produced and co-delivered by approved trainers with lived experience of learning disability and autism, who are fairly compensated for their contributions. The accreditation scheme will provide quality assurance for the delivery of this training. The Oliver McGowan mandatory training is the Government’s preferred training to support autism and learning disabilities within healthcare, resulting from lessons learnt from a series of systemic failing. The training is unique focusing on co-production and co-delivery with people with lived experience of learning disability and autism, reducing health inequalities, and improving patient experiences. The accreditation scheme will also ensure quality assurance around the training delivery. This procurement aims to establish an accreditation scheme in response to statutory obligations under the Health and Care Act 2022. It represents a key priority aligned with legislative requirements introduced by the Act and the newly published Oliver McGowan Code of Practice. The maximum contractual value funded by NHS England is £560,000 for the initial term and £240,000 contingency for the optional extended term, subject to need, budget availability and an agreed statement of work. Potential wider system benefits range from £0 to £4,800,000 for the initial term and between £0 and £2,960,000 for the optional extension. Bidders should note that there is no minimum commitment guaranteed through the contract. NHS England does not expect to allocate the maximum budget.
