2023/24 Framework for the Provision of Health & Care Evaluation Services (HaCE)

Tender description

NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (WY ICB) (the “Contracting Authority”) is seeking to establish a Multi-Supplier, Multi-Lot Framework of suitably qualified providers to deliver Health and Care Evaluation (HaCE) services to support the ICB’s in-house HaCE service. The NHS West Yorkshire ICB Health and Care Evaluation (HaCE) Service in Leeds is a team operating in Leeds by evaluating services implemented across the health and care system in West Yorkshire. The service supports commissioners wishing to evaluate a service through either carrying out an evaluation of the service themselves or finding a partner to evaluate some, or all of the service for us. In addition the framework will be open for use by other partners in the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership. This tender requirement covers three lots- the first will be contributing to evaluation work we are carrying out through gathering data on our behalf (Lot 1), the second will require either an in-depth evaluation in a single locality, or a less complex piece of evaluation across multiple localities (Lot 2) and the third providing a full evaluation of a service (Lot 3). All three of these lots are likely to include qualitative evaluation approaches, with the second and third also including quantitative and economic evaluation elements as required by the service evaluated. Note: if bidders want to apply for more than one Lot they would, need to apply to each Lot providing relevant example for each Lot. Lot 1: Specific Evaluation Tasks - Part of a larger evaluation. Evaluators will be tasked with the delivery of specific elements of qualitative evaluations. Lot 2: Evaluation Work Package - The development and execution of evaluation strategies delivering evaluation products for either an in-depth evaluation in a single locality or a less complex evaluation across multiple localities in West Yorkshire Lot 3: Full Evaluation - Organising an evaluation from start to end.
