## About this tender

NHS England are developing a Children and Young People Mental Health Commissioning Development programme. Aimed at commissioners implementing Future in Mind and the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health, this innovative, one-year programme will be delivered via regional and national events and seminars, and virtual peer learning sessions throughout 2017.

The programme is being delivered by an alliance of NEL CSU and NECS supported by a range of partners, and NHS England is looking to source an academic partner to review the programme and accredit the participants.

The accreditation element of the programme will be offered on an optional basis to participants. NHS England would like to offer a relevant accreditation for year one of the programme. Given the time frame, and the importance of delivering a cost-effective option, NHS England is looking to procure an academic partner offering existing short courses and associated accreditation in Commissioning at a postgraduate level.

The selected partner would be expected to:

â&#128;¢ Input to the programme design and review the curricula, to ensure it is acceptable from an accreditation perspective

â&#128;¢ Provide accreditation to participants through the university's awarding body, inclusive of individual support to participants

â&#128;¢ Deliver mandatory accreditation modules as required

â&#128;¢ Provide material and clarifications for participants (e.g. on assessments), and participate in national events as required, working closely with the PMO team

The development programme will launch in January 2017; rapid mobilisation from the academic partner will be required.

Additional information: This is potentially a one year contract. The successful provider is expected to commence the work on Monday 23 January 2017.

If you are interested in quoting for this pilot programme, please review the requirements within the 'Request for Quotation' document attached and confirm by a return email your intent to submit a 'Bid Response Document' to the following email addresses: 

Bidders should submit completed 'Bid Response Document' no later than 12noon on Monday 16th January 2017.
