Digital ePortfolio Platform for Cervical Screening Trainee Assessment

The NHS Cervical Screening Programme requires a digital ePortfolio platform to replace the current 40-page paper-based portfolio system used by 600-800 trainees annually. The platform must enable trainees to electronically submit practical learning evidence collected over 9-12 months while maintaining compliance with National Guidance standards. Key requirements include: streamlined submission and feedback processes for both trainees and training centres; integrated artificial intelligence functionality to detect plagiarism and enhance marking efficiency; and improved service delivery to reduce costs and time associated with postal handling. North of England Pathology and Screening Education Centre (NEPSEC) seeks a solution to maintain competitiveness with other education institutions and meet urgent implementation requests from Health Education England commissioners. This is a 3-year contract that includes a demonstration question and supporting appendix documentation.
