The NHS is moving towards a more integrated model of care delivery through Integrated care systems (ICS). The Health Systems Support Framework (HSSF) was established to provide a mechanisms for ICS and other health and social care organisations to access the support and services they need to transform how they deliver care. It focuses on specialist solutions that enable the digitisation of services and the use of data to drive proactive population health management approaches across Primary care networks (PCNs) and integrated provider teams. NHS England are looking to re-procure the HSSF to allow for updates to its scope and to give new suppliers an opportunity to bid. We are looking to engage with organisations who can support ICSs to deliver integrated care prior to finalising any future procurement. Further details, including a description of the services, is provided in Section V1: Complementary information.
This PIN is not yet a call for competition. NHS England is issuing this PIN to support further engagement with interested suppliers of the below listed capabilities to explore the update of the health systems support framework to provide health and social care organisations with access to a range of support including:
— local health and care record systems (strategy, implementation and interoperability infrastructure),
— informatics, analytics and digital tools for Population Health, business and clinical intelligence,
— transformation and change support including: pathway enablement and care model design; workforce development; system design and reform; Primary Care Network and Integrated Care Partnership development,
— health and care system optimisation including: demand management and capacity planning solutions; patient pathway solutions (including control centres); workforce management, rostering and optimisation; digitisation of continuing healthcare,
This scope is subject to further agreement and may evolve. The framework is envisaged to continue to be refreshed regularly to accommodate the evolving market in the UK and any changing requirements from the demand side.
Any potential framework agreement may be split into lots, to be determined. Any future procurement activity will be the subject of a separate contract notice which will supersede this notice and which will form the call for competition.
