Description

This is an Opportunity Notice.
CQC are seeking bids for the below requirement:
The successful supplier will need to have a robust understanding of how to create effective change. They will need to understand how to work strategically with organisations to understand their individual context, and how they can work with them to develop an accessible, flexible and dynamic services platform available across multiple platforms that has a real impact on local areas and reducing inequalities in health and care in local area.
The successful supplier will have experience in enabling change within complex settings and ideally have experience of working with Integrated Care Systems.
CQC expect that the successful supplier would lead on development of the services platform and demonstrate an explicit willingness to work with the other external supplier of voluntary and community sector (VCS) engagement and with ICSs to deliver a robust programme of co-design to develop a useful tool. The joint working with our VCS external partner will bring together a range of perspectives, through the delivery of a blend of one to one and group engagement activities that meet the needs of participants. It is important that these activities are accessible.
The services platform delivered will also need to be accessible and user friendly (and user tested), it will need to be dynamic and adapt to the requirements of different local areas. We will require the successful supplier to demonstrate how the insight gained from co-design has directly influenced the tool design to ensure it meets user's needs.
The Contract will be for a total period of 13 months.
