TET offers a range of trainings in mental health and social care, including 20 postgraduate programmes validated by university partners and a population of some 1400 students and 3000 learners annually. While TET represents a major strategic asset with a significant international reputation, it currently faces a material sustainability challenge due to a change in the core funding from NHSE. This requires TET to review its offer, both to students and the NHS, and to become more financially independent and sustainable in the long-term. ## CPV classification Research and development services and related consultancy services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-06e1e3-2026-08-11T18:26:47+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-06e1e3-2026-08-11T18:26:47+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
