HEE seeks to offer education providers and other organisations (e.g., professional bodies, and professional networks, (working in partnership with education providers to achieve the full commission) the opportunity to bid for and be awarded contracts to support delivery of HEE's Supported e-Portfolio Route which includes, for a proportion of applicants, the provision of limited, specific learning opportunities to address gaps for individuals seeking to be recognised by the Centre as advanced practitioners.

This commission is to support 3,000 suitable individuals successfully supported through the HEE Supported e-Portfolio Route to education provider sign off. Those who achieve sign off, are deemed suitable by the provider to reach the standards required for inclusion on the Directory.

It is anticipated that this activity will be delivered by multiple providers across England and for there to be a presence in each of HEE's seven regions. The commission will be supported by the national programme team to develop a standardised process.

The contract will be in place until the end of 2022/23 academic year.
