Tender description

This framework will provide Healthcare Planner (HCP) services to Framework Customers on a call off basis. The role of the HCP is varied and will include a wide range of services to NHSScotland organisations across the whole of Scotland. This new framework is to be structured as 2 separate lots to provide additional scope to meet identified changes to the requirements of NHSScotland Organisations. The proposed scope therefore takes cognisance of systemic changes (e.g. a more formalised regional dimension to clinical service planning) in addition to demographic shifts and other drivers. To meet healthcare planning requirements at national, regional and territorial board levels, the new framework will need to be able to provide strategic/whole system healthcare planning as well a programme/project specific healthcare planning. It is anticipated that organisations will be able to support either lots or both and the specific requirements for each are clearly detailed in the SOR.
