Heath Education England [HEE] believe that MIH is the only organisation capable of providing support such as to meet specific requirements of the HEE national Digital Readiness programme HEE believes that it is highly unlikely for any other supplier to be able to provide the following skills/tools provided by MIH as a current supplier for the following reasons: • The only supplier who has immediate access to the networks and databases relating to the digital leadership programmes • Ability to work at pace and on demand to meet the urgent needs of researching the programmes to understand the direction for future delivery In the event that MIH are unable to provide dedicated services, there will be a detrimental impact on HEE service delivery for a number of reasons: • Significant delay to the delivery of projects where MIH is the only supplier, due to their positioning within the community and expertise. This might include the delivery of service improvement projects. This will result in the loss of important information which could contribute to improving both education and training and quality of care now and in the future. • NHS organisations will be met by increased pressure as the digital agenda continues to grow in importance and relevance to the workforce, quality of care could be affected if appropriate leadership is not in place to support and devlop the digital workforce. • Stakeholder engagement will be adversely impacted if HEE are unable to utilise the contacts and networks owned and facilitated by MIH.
