Published justification

NES will develop a strategy to procure actors for diverse simulation and training scenarios. This initiative aims to ensure inclusivity and representativeness in training, enhancing the realism and effectiveness of educational programmes. The procurement will cover actors for sessions, workshops, assessments, and events, with opportunities for those with lived experience to contribute to scenario development. The project is valued at over GBP120k per annum and seeks to be awarded in financial year 25/26.
