Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) was established in 2018 as a Special Health Authority that sits alongside Health Boards and Trusts as part of NHS Wales. HEIW has a leading role in the education, training, development and shaping of the healthcare workforce in Wales, ensuring NHS Wales have the right staff, with the right skills, to deliver world-class healthcare to the people of Wales both now and in the future.

One of the strategic objectives of HEIW is to purchase and rollout a centralized learning management system (LMS) with associated virtual learning environment (VLE)/digital learning platform and course/event booking facility which will facilitate the delivery, monitoring and evaluation of all educational events developed by HEIW. This work aligns with the Workforce Strategy theme 5 (Excellent Education and Learning).

The system will have the long-term potential to be available to all health and social care professionals in Wales and will provide a range of flexible and innovative learning opportunities using the most up-to-date digital resources available via mobile devices.

The contract is for a three year agreement with an option to extend for a further one year period.

Delivery: Wales · HEIW, Ty Dysgu, Cefn Coed, Nantgarw, Cardiff
Extensions: The 48 months above include a 12 month extension option at the sole discretion of HEIW Special health Authority.Variant bids: not allowed
