National support offer for Maternity Voices Partnerships

Tender description

The Authority are seeking to commission an organisation over the 21/22 financial year with expert knowledge of community providers to understand the barriers and enablers to the international recruitment of Registered Nurses to community provider organisations and to co-produce the solutions with provider organisations in order help them establish a pipeline of overseas nurses to be welcomed into community nursing teams. The national Maternity Transformation Programme seeks to implement the vision of Better Births for safer and more personalised care across England and to improve equity for mothers and their babies. Co-production helps to ensure efficient and effective implementation of this vision. The NHS Constitution states "the NHS belongs to the people". The NHS is founded on a set of values, including 'working together for patients'. People have the right to be involved in the planning of healthcare services. The NHS is responsible for working in partnership with people to achieve this. Co-production "is a way of working that involves people who use health and care services, carers and communities in equal partnership; and which engages groups of people at the earliest stages of service design, development and evaluation. [It] acknowledges that people with 'lived experience'...are often best placed to advise on what support and services will make a positive difference to their lives.'
