The programme will support the development of leadership, management, communication, patient safety, ethics and quality improvement skills, and must align with the General Medical Council (GMC) Generic Professional Capabilities Framework and wider NHS workforce priorities. The anticipated requirement is for approximately 225 learner places per year. There shall be no guaranteed income under the Contract, but a cost per learner to be charged to the Contracting Authority in respect of each learner participating in the training programme under the Contract. The cost per learner shall be an all-inclusive cost and the only charge to be recovered under the Contract in respect of services provided. The Awarded Contract shall be payable based on the volume of activity with a maximum price per learner of £1,022.22 (Exclusive of VAT). The maximum cost per learner has been calculated using the total contract value divided by the indicative maximum learner volume over the contract term. £1,150,000 ÷ 1,125 = £1,022.22. The following risks have been declared through the contract notice: Learner numbers may vary during the contract term. The current estimate is approximately 225 learner places per year, but actual demand may increase or decrease in response to workforce requirements, funding availability and regional demand. Any material change to learner numbers, and any associated change in contract value, will be subject to budget availability, agreement between the parties, NHS England governance approval and any required business case approvals. The curriculum may also need to change during the contract term to reflect regulatory requirements, national policy, professional standards, workforce priorities or updates to the GMC Generic Professional Capabilities Framework. The successful provider will be required to work collaboratively with NHS England to review and update programme content where necessary, ensuring the programme remains current, compliant and aligned to emerging best practice. Any significant curriculum changes will be subject to appropriate governance and approval.
