Foundation Simulation Training Virtual Reality - Health Education England (West Midlands)

Tender description

<p>NHS Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner) are looking to engage an organisation that will provide Foundation Simulation Training Virtual Reality (West Midlands).</p> <p>Health Education England are inviting bidders to submit a tender response to provide virtual reality training sessions for all Foundation year 1 Trainees working in the West Midlands. To successfully implement this, we require an individual license for all Foundation Year 1 doctors so that they can utilise the equipment that our Trusts have embedded in their simulation suites.</p> <p>This is designed to augment the existing physical simulation sessions by delivering the same techniques using new technology and allowing trusts to scale the delivery of simulation-based education for trainees without the need to significantly expand faculty. In addition, it helps overcome some of the capacity issues secondary to the COVID pandemic and social distancing.</p> <p>The virtual reality simulation has been widely adopted in other specialities and can bridge the gap between theory and practice immersing the learner in a realistic, dynamic, complex setting.</p> <p>The maximum financial envelope for this procurement exercise is &pound;80,500 exclusive of Vat per year. The contract period will be for 1 year with the option to extend by up to a further two years (1+1) subject to annual review and available budget.</p> <p>The deadline for submission of completed ITT submissions is 8th July 2021 at 12:00pm (midday).</p> <p>Late submissions will not be accepted therefore, please submit in good time prior to the deadline date and time. All communications should be made via the messaging function on the e-Tendering portal during the tender exercise.</p> <p>The Contracting Authority requests that all communications are channelled through the e-portal system and not with the Contracting Authority itself other than as expressly permitted within this ITT.</p> <p>Should Bidders have any queries, or are having problems using the portal, they should contact the ProContract dedicated Supplier Helpdesk at: http://proactis.kayako.com/procontractv3/Core/Default/Index</p> Keywords: Virtual Reality, Simulation
