We provide expertise to the NHS on resolving concerns and disputes fairly, sharing learning for improvement and preserving resources for patient care as well as managing appeals, providing advice and associated safety and learning support. Every year NHS Resolution manages an expenditure of over £2 billion in relation to Clinical Negligence and NHS liability schemes, processes over 14,000 new claims, administers a case load of more than 50,000 cases, and manages over 12 million documents many of which are sensitive. NHS Resolution is comprised of three main services, each of which operate in different contexts and jurisdictions but share expertise in the fair and efficient resolution of concerns, namely: Claims Management Service • Claims for compensation for clinical negligence experienced within secondary care (at NHS Trust level) o There are a range of schemes and claim types, leading to nuanced processes, data retention periods, datasets and shelf lives. E.g. some of these cases remain open for the entire life of the claimant. • Claims for compensation due to clinical negligence experienced within primary care (General Practice) • Several types of Non-Clinical Claims in respect of Employer and Public Liability Practitioner Performance Advice Service • Cases set up to resolve disputes between employees at our member trusts and to address concerns about the performance of doctors, dentists and pharmacists using a toolbox of ‘interventions’ and ‘assessments’ Primary Care Appeals Service • Cases to resolve disputes between primary care contractors and NHS England and appeals against decisions made by NHS England in respect of contracts awarded and not awarded. Until 2021 each of these three services operated on their own bespoke legacy platforms, however starting in October 2021 NHS Resolution set out on an exciting journey to transform and migrate our legacy digital systems on to a new modern platform based on Pega Cloud with support from a systems integrator. As part of this journey, we also, importantly, committed to building our own in house digital and delivery expertise enabling us to, in time both, develop and maintain our own platform. It is the development of this in house Pega delivery capability that we are seeking support with as part of this ITT. The business problem you need to solve In order to support the development of an house capability which can provide both application support and development we have undertaken a level of restructuring within our DDAT (Digital Data and Technology) team to enable us to support and grow a Pega Delivery team which we are seeking your support in staffing: Note: Whilst we have articulated a set of roles as part of this team we would welcome your feedback, expertise, and input on this structure. It is anticipated that the Pega Delivery Team will work within out Digital Delivery Team and extremely closely with our Business Analyst community (Some of who are currently working through the Pega Academy Business Architect courses) and Service Design Lead. The Pega Delivery team will also need to work with colleagues across the DDAT team in order to provide both development and Level 2 support to our service desk. The DDAT organisation is comprised of: • A multi skilled Technology team who both support numerous other areas of our Technology stack such as our infrastructure and EUC platforms and who provide a Level 1 Service Desk. • A Data team who provide insight and information from the data we hold. To support long term budgeting, we have assumed that the end state Pega Delivery Team will be comprised of individuals who meet the criteria to be banded as between Band 6 and 8a on the NHS Agenda for Change pay scale (Agenda for change - pay rates | Health Careers) however we would look to work with you to move to this over time appreciating that initially the team may need to be staffed in a different structure.
