Tender description
National This project is to develop national education and training pathway models for Operating Department Practice (ODP) and Podiatry. Both professions have been identified as small and vulnerable, with declining recruitment, workforce supply risks and future demand projected to exceed supply. It supports inclusion and widening participation objectives, enables more accessible progression pathways and encourages digital-first learning methods that can expand reach. By strengthening workforce supply in ODP and Podiatry, the commission also contributes to more resilient services and improved access to care across hospital, community and preventative settings. Contract length is 5 months. The maximum financial envelope for this tender is £80,000.00 ex VAT for 6 months. ## Contract award
