Nursing and Allied Health Care Student Placement Management System

Tender description

Preliminary Market Consultation Following the proposed introduction of Nursing and Allied Health Care degrees, there is a requirement for Leeds Trinity University to implement a placement management system that provides capability to allocate students into placements across multiple NHS Trusts. We would like to provide the opportunity for potential suppliers to speak to us regarding their placement management systems, in particular the capability to check placement capacity, the communication provided to both the student and institution, tracking of placements and the retention of data for quality audits. In respect of the above, Leeds Trinity University seeks advice from independent experts/authorities/market participants with a view to developing the scope and specifications needed to plan and conduct its procurement procedures. We would like to hear from organisations who can share their experience of having provided similar services demonstrating a knowledge of healthcare placements for the higher education sector. and who would be willing to provide us with a summary of functionality that supports these aims. The information provided in this document presents the university's current understanding of requirements and available options, however the university wishes market operators to consider this an opportunity to make the university aware of optimal, variant, and optional solutions, in order that any investment represents the very best demonstrable value for money. If it is convenient to do so, we would greatly appreciate your completion of the supplier information table in Appendix 1 (attached) For the avoidance of doubt, no call for competition has been made, and no contract award opportunity identified. All relevant information exchanged or resulting from this PMC will be documented and where not considered commercially confidential, may be communicated to other candidates and tenderers participating in any resultant procurement procedure. Please may we ask for your comments and correspondences as soon as possible, and no later than 1700h 11th October 2022. All correspondences to Mark Hayter by e-mail: m.hayter@leedstrinity.ac.uk
