South East and London Public Health Practitioner Development Programme (UKPHR)

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

The Schools of Public Health in the South East region are based within the subregions of Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS); Thames Valley (TV); and Wessex (WX).

The London School of Public Health supports the London region as one school.

The remit for Schools of Public Health is to build capacity and capability of the public health workforce of the future and existing public health and wider health and care workforces in the region.

It does this by delivering inclusive and innovative approaches to training and education, enabling the workforce to prevent ill health and address health inequalities.

A core programme for Schools of Public Health is the delivery of the UKPHR Public Health Practitioner Scheme.

Following the retirement of current providers, South East and London Schools are seeking to engage and work with a new provider who has experience of delivering competency-based professional development programmes who is interested in developing the public health workforce.

This procurement is seeking a provider to deliver the Support Programme.

The Support Programme will guide public health practitioners in the development of a retrospective portfolio to meet the requirements for UKPHR registration.
