Specialist training services

Tender description

YPO is seeking to engage with suppliers able to provide an innovative approach to delivery of training around dementia and autism awareness which gives those receiving training a hands-on experience of what it could be like to live with dementia or autism. Training participants will be able to use the experience to improve the way they support or interact with people through whatever role they play within the customer organisation or wider society. YPO envisage that a self-contained mobile unit will be used to deliver the experience and the training provider would utilise any resource within the mobile unit to training participants to experience simulated dementia or autism. Training participants would then be provided with a de brief and other associated training, depending on the customer requirements. YPO is exploring the potential to develop a framework using the light touch regime for the services listed in the short description of this notice. It is looking to engage with any potential suppliers of these types of services for training regarding the care and support of individuals with dementia and/or autism through a simulated experience training scheme where participants would be able to experience the life and changes being lived by individuals with autism or dementia. Although the exact requirements are yet to be specified, YPO requires the services to be delivered in the form of a virtual experience to be deliverable to its permissible users nationwide, thus requiring a mobile solution or the possibility for multiple locations being available for use. Such framework would be available for use by its permissible users whom can be found here: https://www.ypo.co.uk/about/customers/ojeu-permissible-users.aspx YPO is looking to engage with any provider who may be able to provide such services as these in order to scope the potential opportunity. Please email socialcare@ypo.co.uk If are interested in the possibility of competing for this by the 13.9.2019 after which time, YPO hopes it will have sufficient information on order to produce a tender and award a framework for these services.
