Description

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (“the Trust”) is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced provider to design, deliver and administer a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessment and accreditation pathway for eligible members of the Trust’s workforce.
The requirement is intended to enable eligible learners who have completed the Trust’s internal Emergency Ambulance Associate (EAA) development programme and associated mandatory training to have their existing learning, experience and current competence appropriately recognised towards achievement of the Level 3 Diploma in Ambulance Emergency and Urgent Care Support (RQF).
The successful provider will be required to deliver an end-to-end RPL service, including mapping the Trust’s existing EAA programme against the relevant qualification requirements; reviewing existing learner evidence; determining the extent to which learning outcomes and assessment criteria can be satisfied through RPL and Recognition of Current Competence (RCC); undertaking learner registration and assessment; identifying and addressing any residual learning or assessment gaps; completing internal quality assurance and relevant awarding organisation processes; and confirming qualification achievement.
The service must maximise the appropriate use of existing learning, workplace experience and evidence, minimising unnecessary duplication of learning and assessment while maintaining the standards and requirements of the relevant awarding organisation.
The Trust has identified a maximum anticipated requirement of up to 1,625 learners across existing and future eligible workforce cohorts during the contract period. Actual volumes may vary and the Trust does not guarantee that the maximum anticipated volume will be achieved.
Interested suppliers should review the procurement documents available via the Trust’s e-tendering portal and submit their tender response in accordance with the published procurement timetable.
