About

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a supplier to design, deliver and administer a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessment and accreditation pathway to recognise eligible staff who have completed the Trust’s internal Emergency Ambulance Associate (EAA) development programme and mandatory training towards the Level 3 Diploma in Ambulance Emergency and Urgent Care Support (RQF). The appointed provider must deliver an end-to-end RPL service including mapping the EAA programme to qualification requirements, reviewing existing learner evidence, determining RPL and Recognition of Current Competence (RCC) outcomes, undertaking learner registration and assessment, addressing any residual learning or assessment gaps, completing internal quality assurance and awarding organisation processes, and confirming qualification achievement while maximising use of existing learning and workplace evidence to minimise duplication. The Trust has identified a maximum anticipated requirement of up to 1,625 learners across existing and future eligible cohorts during the contract period, noting actual volumes may vary and are not guaranteed.
