Current procurement opportunities

In January 2009 we began advertising all our tender opportunities on this website. Please see below current procurement opportunities.

Organisational Change Management Support Project

The Fitness to Practice Directorate (FPD) is embarking on a series of ambitious transformation projects in 2010 to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our organisation and requires to set up a consultancy framework to provide change management support. Over the next few years there are three key drivers for changing our Fitness to Practice (FtP) structures and process: - Our case load is increasing - in 2009 the number of stream 1 FTP investigations increased compared to the previous year. We need to be able to respond to this increase in demand by using the resources we have in a more efficient way and contribute to the GMC drive to identify efficiency savings - OHPA will change the way we interface with the adjudication function - in 2011 OHPA will take responsibility for the FtP adjudication function.   This will involve an organisational separation and the design of new processes within FPD. - Revalidation and Affiliates will change the way we deal with FTP - the Revalidation and Affiliates projects will make improvements to the way FTP issues are dealt with at a local level. FPD will need to ensure our processes can interface effectively with any changes at local level. Whilst FPD have a Change Management team, there is a requirement for additional external support to provide key skills and additional capacity. We are looking for suppliers to enter into a framework agreement to provide change management support during 2010.   Please register at www.mytenders.co.uk where you can download all relevant PQQ documentation.  The closing date for completed PQQs is noon on Friday 26 March 2010.
