This legislation mandates that all CQC-registered health and social care providers ensure their staff receive training on learning disability and autism that is appropriate to their role. The training is intended to equip staff with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide safe, compassionate, and informed care to people with a learning disability and autistic people, addressing existing health inequalities. The provider will be responsible for delivering both Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training to staff within NHS Trusts and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) located in the South West London (SWL) Integrated Care Board (ICB) catchment area. The training must be the official, standardised package co-developed with people with a learning disability and autistic people. • Tier 1 Training: This tier is for staff who require a general awareness of the support autistic people or people with a learning disability may need. It consists of two parts: a 90-minute e-learning module and a one hour live online interactive session with a trio of experts, including a person with a learning disability, an autistic person, and a facilitator. • Tier 2 Training: This tier is for staff who may need to provide care and support for autistic people or people with a learning disability. It consists of the same 90-minute e-learning module as Tier 1 and a one-day, face-to-face training session with a lead trainer and experts with lived experience. The provider must be an approved trainer or demonstrate a robust plan to deliver the standardised training, including the involvement of people with lived experience in the co-delivery of the interactive sessions. Total contract of value - £496,910.00 (including VAT) £414,091.67 (excluding VAT). The ICB is direct awarding this below threshold contact as this contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a tender process as required by the Standing Financial Instructions of the ICB because the services are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency and the urgency is not attributable to any act or omission of the ICB and could not have been foreseen by the ICB. The reason for the urgency is that ICB received the approval of funding from NHS England very late which left no time to carry out a tender process as required by the ICB's Standing Financial Instructions and procurement policy to award this contract. This service comes under Light Touch Contracts and is below the threshold. It is not mandatory for the ICB to publish this notice. The ICB is voluntarily publishing this transparency notice. Following the publication of this notice the Contracting Authority will observe a voluntary 8 working day standstill period that ends on 18 August 2025. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 80000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** 1 (pending) - Supplier(s): **UNIQUE TRAINING SOLUTIONS LIMITED** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-166246` - Value: £414,092 (exc.
