Description

The NHSBSA have a requirement for a system, or a number of systems, that allow effective management of employees' learning, talent and performance. The NHSBSA's Learning and Organisational Development (L&OD) team support between 3,000-4,000 employees.
About NHSBSA: The NHSBSA is a national organisation providing a broad range of business services that support the wider NHS.

Further information on our extensive service portfolio can be found at: https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/about-us.

These requirements are currently partly met by an NHS-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. However, the NHSBSA are looking to move away from this system for learning, talent and performance management.

Any new system(s) will need to allow for powerful reporting mechanisms to drive insight for the L&OD team, leaders, managers and users. The solution is required to be live and operational by no later than 31/03/2022.

It is acknowledged that there are a range of models for delivering these requirements (for example, a singular system or multiple systems focusing on individual areas). The NHSBSA are keen to understand more about the different approaches that could be taken to meet the needs.

The NHSBSA conducted a high-level Request For Information (RFI) exercise in early 2021. Further to this, the NHSBSA now wishes to complete a more detailed market engagement exercise to include a webinar event and some 1-2-1 discussions.

Further information related to the early market engagement activities and how to participate can be found in the Additional Information section of the Find a Tender Service Notice, which can be found here: https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019880-2021
