Thames Valley and Surrey LHCRE programme support

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done The Thames Valley & Surrey Local Health and Care Records Exemplar programme is in the early phase of development and mobilisation and requires expert support in key areas to establish and strong and viable model of operation. This will focus primarily on Benefits Planning, Target Operating Model, Business Case development, and Procurement / contract planning support. The TVS LCHRE is one of 5 areas selected by NHS England to pursue a new model of sharing and using health data to benefit direct care and population health. Problem to Be Solved The challenge for the TVS LCHRE partnership is to successfully design and develop the programme rapidly in a way that both enables the Funding milestones to be achieved but also to focus on the longer term benefits and create a viable operating model for the future. Who Are the Users The outputs of this work will be for the TVS LHCRE Programme Board and stakeholders involved in the development and delivery of the programme, including care professionals and lay representatives. Early Market Engagement Work Already Done The TVS LCHRE programme has established its governance arrangements, signed a Funding Agreement with NHS England, initiated a procurement for the LCHRE data platform, and developed a first version of the Programme delivery plan. Existing Team The TVS LHCR partnership has appointed an SRO and a Programme Director. Other support and resourcing for the programme is coming from partner health and care partner organisations, from the NHS Commissioning Support Unit in the region, and external suppliers. The supplier appointed is likely to need to work with other supply partners working on related aspects of the programme.
