Description

NHS South Devon & Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group are inviting bids from potential suppliers to meet
the specification for a Behavioural Change Information Platform for Prevention, Well Being and Self-care to the
population of South Devon & Torbay CCG.

The CCG do not have the resources to deliver this ambitious programme of work at the pace required to support
the New Model of Care. Where pockets of relevant skills do exist they are already focussed on supporting the
delivery of system priorities. This approach also recognises that we do not have, within our workforce, all of
the necessary skills available to deliver the requirements of this workstream. Many of these skills required are
specialist, technical in nature, and required on an ad-hoc and short-term basis to deliver specific products and/or
intelligence.

The CCG need to approach this service in an agile and cost effective manner to achieve maximum benefit
from the limited people and financial resources we have available. We need also to break free of our traditional
thinking and extend our solutions beyond existing infrastructures and capabilities to deliver solutions that meet
public expectations, accessing the input and advice of specialists such as app developers; technology leads,
marketing experts and designers. This will include seeking out learning from non-traditional suppliers and
identifying opportunities for standardisation and opportunistic innovation.

Changing the behaviour of our consumers will be key to successfully realising the benefits of what we will
create. This is a skill extending beyond our current capabilities, utilising marketing and behavioural economics
and social marketing.

The CCG is keen to urgently progress and award this contract to a partner who can demonstrate that they can
not only deliver to the critical success factors of the specification but who can deliver these requirements in a
very short mobilisation period and at a high quality pace.

The CCG fully recognise that the services fall within the scope of the full regulations and their responsibility to
discharge their duties in full. As such the CCG is taking a pragmatic approach to this procurement process, by
reducing the time the opportunity is available to the market and adjusting the number of evaluation questions for
bidders to respond to, in order to facilitate a proportional effort on the part of bidders.

The CCG is looking for a partner who will most likely need to subcontract, or source further partners from the
local system, to enable full delivery of the specification. References to any subcontractors in the eligibility
question responses and any subsequent quality question response will be treated as such at the point of
evaluation, and the CCG will satisfy themselves of the suitability of any additional partners as part of the
mobilisation period(post contract award).
