title: Intermediate Care placements at Nursing & Residential Homes within the Torbay and Southern Devon area

description: Intermediate Care Services - Call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) Torbay and Southern Devon Health and Care NHS Trust (the Trust) wishes to hear from organisations interested in providing Intermediate Care Services in residential and nursing home settings. The Trust is the only integrated community health and adult social care organisation in the South West and provides Intermediate Care to the area covered by Torbay and Southern Devon. Intermediate Care is a range of integrated services provided for a limited period of time to promote faster recovery from illness, prevent unnecessary acute hospital admission and premature admission to long-term residential care, support timely discharge from hospital and maximise independent living. The emphasis of Intermediate Care should be on active enablement. Intermediate Care services are free of charge to service users. The outcome and services required for Intermediate Care are: • To provide time limited nursing and residential home placements for clients who have a short term acute medical problem that prevents them being cared for safely at home but where the responsible doctor does not deem hospital admission necessary. Multidisciplinary assessment and rehabilitation are provided by zone/cluster based Intermediate Care teams. • To reduce the number of people prematurely or inappropriately being admitted or re-admitted to hospital or into a long stay placement within a residential or nursing home setting. • To support earlier hospital discharge for those patients medically fit enough to be cared for in the community from both Acute and Community Hospitals. • To increase the scope for Intermediate Care placements and ensure that all clients can receive Intermediate Care within a care home setting. An example of this is to increase the availability of placements for younger clients and for those who may have challenging behaviour. • The Trust would like to explore the possibility of Intermediate Care being provided by a Care Home in the patient’s home setting. This may take the form of providing input to a patient once they have been discharged home from placement, or provision in place of a Care Home placement. Providers are encouraged to explore this opportunity within their tender and outline what additional services they may be able to provide that could meet this need.

Renewable heat meanwhile, in 2012, represented only 2.3 per cent of total heat usage. DECC aims to increase the contribution of renewable heat to 12 per cent of all UK heat in 2020, making a key contribution to the UK’s overall 2020 EU renewable energy target of 15 per cent. Heat networks or district heating schemes, supply heat from a central source directly to homes and businesses, through a network of pipes carrying hot water. This means that individual homes and businesses do not need to generate their own heat on site. Heat networks can provide an efficient way of transporting heat and have been firmly established in other countries. DECC recognises the potential that heat networks could play in UK low carbon and renewable heat strategy. On 26 March 2013 DECC set out the next steps to ensure affordable, secure, low carbon heating plays an important role in the nation’s energy mix in the publication: “The Future of Heating: Meeting the challenge”. The overall aim of this contract is to develop new evidence for DECC on the potential for heat networks to provide renewable heat in the non-domestic sector. Robust evidence gathering, analysis and assessment is required to better understand a number of analytical questions around deployment and abatement potential, renewable energy contribution, performance, costs, and non-economic barriers. The evidence presented in this stage will help inform policy makers as to whether there is a case for support of heat networks. Contract documents: The Invitation to Tender (ITT) is attached.

title: RE140124HEFCE - Evaluation of impact in the Research Excellence Framework 2014 (phase two: assessment).

description: 1. The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) was established in June 1992 under the terms of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 as a non-departmental public body operating within a policy and funding context set by the Government. The Council assumed responsibility for funding higher education in England on 1 April 1993. The Council’s main function is to administer grant provided by the Secretary of State for Education. The Council funds education, research and the associated activities at universities and other higher education institutions (http://www.hefce.ac.uk/). Further information on HEFCE can be found at http://www.hefce.ac.uk/about/ Aims 2. The Council is conducting a developmental evaluation of impact assessment in the REF to: • review the challenges and perceived benefits of the methodology being implemented • determine whether it is fit for purpose in meeting the Council’s aim for assessing impact • to inform the development of future Research Excellence Framework (REF) exercises. 3. Last year we commissioned the first phase of this evaluation, looking at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs') submission preparation for impact. The first phase is due to report shortly. 4. The aim of this project, the phase two study, is to evaluate the effectiveness of the assessment process in delivering reliable, robust and fair outcomes that will enable the fulfilment of the Council’s aim for assessing impact. Objectives 5. The high-level objectives are to: a. Explore the strengths and weaknesses of the assessment process in delivering reliable, robust and fair outcomes. b. Identify any unforeseen issues emerging during the assessment process, and evaluate the management of these. c. Outline broad implications for the assessment process for impact in future REF exercises. d. Understand the findings of the phase two study within the context of the phase one evaluation of the submission process. About UK Shared Business Services Putting the business into shared services UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) brings a commercial attitude to the public sector; helping our customers improve efficiency, generate savings and modernise. It is our vision to become the leading provider for our customers of shared business services in the UK public sector, continuously reducing cost and improving quality of business services for Government and the public sector. Our broad range of expert services is shared by our customers. This allows our customers the freedom to focus resources on core activities; innovating and transforming their own organisations. Core services include Procurement, Finance, Grants Admissions, Human Resources, Payroll, ISS, and Property Asset Management all underpinned by our Service Delivery and Contact Centre teams. UK SBS is a people rather than task focused business. It’s what makes us different to the traditional transactional shared services centre. What is more, being a not-for-profit organisation owned by its customers, UK SBS’ goals are aligned with the public sector and delivering best value for the UK taxpayer. UK Shared Business Services Ltd changed its name from RCUK Shared Services Centre Ltd in March 2013. Our Customers Growing from a foundation of supporting the Research Councils, 2012/13 saw Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) transition their procurement to UK SBS and Crown Commercial Service (CSS - previously Government Procurement Service) agree a Memorandum of Understanding with UK SBS to deliver two major procurement categories (construction and research) across Government. UK SBS currently manages £700m expenditure for its Customers, our growth projections anticipate this will rise to £1bn in 2013/14. Important information From the 2nd April 2014 the Government is introducing its new Government Security Classifications (GSC) classification scheme to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All potential suppliers should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement. The link below to the Gov.uk website provides information on the new GSC: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications


title: RM1043 Digital Services - NHS e-Referral Service - THIS HAS NOW BEEN WITHDRAWN

description: This competition has been cancelled. The new NHS e-Referral Service will succeed the current Choose and Book service in the next 3 months. The service will consist of an application / software provider, infrastructure provider and integration. The software developer (BJSS) has been appointed and have commenced development using an Agile approach. The infrastructure provider is in place and is InTechnology PLC The existing Choose and Book Service has been operational since 2004. The service is currently outsourced and provided under a managed service contract. The current contract is due to expire and a replacement service is now required. The Choose and Book service provides the capability for the safe, electronic transfer of GP to first outpatient referrals; over 31,000 GP to first outpatient referrals are made every day in the NHS. Choose and Book also supports referrals to clinical assessment services, General Practitioner Special Interest (GPSI) services, Allied Health Professional (AHP) services, nurse clinics, ophthalmology services, diagnostic services and day care services. Choose and Book is deployed in all 211 Clinical Commissioning Groups (GGCs) and 27 Area Teams, Choose and Book is also utilised by a significant number of Independent Sector Providers (over 240 sites) and a number of Mental Health Care Trusts. Choose and Book holds over 32,000 published first outpatient services, over 3,000 clinical assessment services and over 3,000 other services and makes these available to clinical referrers. Over 90% of GP Practices regularly use Choose and Book to make referrals. Current artifacts The following artifacts are under development in accordance with agile and Lean UX practices and these will be made available at various stages of the assignment: ● The user needs defined so far as stories ● User journey diagrams (by mid-September 2014) ● User personas (by mid-September 2014) ● User feedback gained so far ● An understanding of how many of your users will need assisted digital support, and what their user needs are ● The level of service development (alpha, private beta, etc.) ● Readiness, availability and location of code, etc. ● Rough prototypes ● A list of Stakeholders and input from them about existing services Current Roles and Responsibilities of the Customer There is a mature programme team in place including programme and project managers, business analysts, software 7 hardware architects, solution assurers and developers. Current Technologies and Languages plus technical overview The existing Choose and Book service has components that include a complex bespoke Web Application for NHS users known as the Professional Web Application (which runs on Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 only), a standards-based bespoke Web Application for patients (the Professional and Patient Web Applications contain over 400 dynamic web-pages in total), message-based interface components for inter-systems messaging (there are 15 published Choose and Book message interactions, each with two alternative message formats), regular and ad-hoc batch schedules (approximately 20 high-level schedules primarily for appointment synchronisation, reporting and meta-data updates) and operational utilities. The presentation and interface services are Java-based components, utilising the Apache Struts 1 framework. The client-side components of the Professional Web App make extensive use of bespoke javascript routines. Core utilities, all data access, and batch services are provided by components of Cerner’s Millennium product. The initial development work will involve removing the dependencies on Cerner’s Millennium product by coding a new business logic and data access layer. The Authority is open to whether the user interface will be retained or re-developed on a value for money basis, but the “look and feel” must be maintained such that there will be no need to retrain users. . The existing Choose and Book service utilises a relational database which provides the service with the following high level capabilities • Data integrity and consistency (i.e. ACID transactions) • Cross-site disaster recovery • Ad-hoc and flexible query patterns (for report generation and incident analysis) • Workload prioritisation At the end of the current contract the dataset size for active referrals will be stable at around 2TB, with non-active referrals (which roughly equates to those > 18 months old) at 6TB and growing at roughly 20GB per week. The highest level of read/write concurrency is experienced during overnight batch schedules during appointment slot synchronisation and report/extract generation. Finally, all actions that involve access to a patient record or could lead to access to a patient record are audited to a physically separate audit system. NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS) replacing Choose and Book The new NHS e-Referral Service will succeed the current Choose and Book service. The service will consist of an application / software provider, infrastructure provider, telephone appointment line (TAL) provide and internal service integration. The software developer (BJSS) has been appointed and has commenced development using an Agile approach. The infrastructure provider is in place and is with Redcentric and Conduit provider the TAL service. Future Development is planned to deliver additional functionality post the transition to NHS e-RS. Work is being initiated now to ensure delivery pace is continued following the transition. Technical overview of NHS e-RS The system is a 3 tier architecture consisting of 2 independent User Interfaces (patient and professional) which consume data via RESTful programming interfaces (APIs) that sit in front of the application and business logic layer. The relational databases are accessed solely by the application and business logic layer. The infrastructure for all 3 tiers can be scaled and modified independently. All data from Choose and Book will be migrated (extract, transform and load) to NHS e-RS, so the key business metrics around volumes of referrals, bookings, service etc in section 1.1.2 will apply to NHS e-RS from go live. The key runtime environment products are summarised below: • Apache httpd • php (symfony) • Redis & Sentinel • Tomcat • OpenLDAP • PostgreSQL (EnterpriseDB) The key management products include: – Nagios & Splunk – Nexus & Puppet The overall product is c.220,000 lines of code in total. The NHS e-RS is not truly a “like for like” functional redevelopment as it includes support for Any-to-Any referrals rather than only GP referrals. This is the first step towards the future functionality of linked referrals, follow-ups and patient self-referrals requirements as well as allowing NHS e-RS to support the government’s aims for the full adoption of paperless referrals by 2018. System to system interoperability is designed into NHS e-RS through the publication of the versioned APIs. This will allow GP systems, Patient Administration Systems and potentially patient facing systems to consume these services directly while maintaining support for older implementations. The NHS e-RS n-tier architecture is designed to run on Infrastructure-as-a-Service virtual servers for the User Interface, APIs and Business logic layers which will support horizontal scaling (additional virtual servers). An architectural decision was taken to place the database layer on dedicated physical hardware to obtain an optimal performance from the product set. To ensure scalability, the data has been separated into service-specific data stores to allow horizontal or vertical scaling (through the addition of physical servers or upgrading the specification of the servers). NHS e-RS has been built with one eye firmly on the future requirements including consumption of the APIs by 3rd party systems and redesign/extension/replacement of the patient and professional user interfaces. Presentational changes to the user interfaces can be easily made in isolation from the underlying services and data. NHS e-RS Futures development Work to elaborate the future NHS e-RS backlog/pipeline of changes has commenced. This will provide a detailed understanding of the scope, complexity and timescales of future development. Areas in the elaboration include Improved Usability including Patient Application, Display of Choice Related Data, Enhanced Integration, MI Reporting, and Enhanced Communications Please see www.hscic.gov.uk/ers for the latest information on future changes and plans for the service.

title: Business Continuity Provision

description: CQC is committed to having robust Business Continuity provision in place. The existing arrangements have been reviewed following a major restructuring of our regulatory model and found to be no longer adequate. As an ALB and part of the wider government estate CQC has a responsibility to ensure that Business Continuity is fit for purpose, and aligns with ISO 22301. An internal audit has resulted in the recommendation that CQC begin the BCM process again, the most important being the Business Impact Assessment Analyses (BIAs) which should concentrate on critical functions rather than activities. CQCs existing plans require better definition and considerable update. Business recovery plans have not been maintained, and are focussed on the wrong area which means there are likely to be gaps, leaving CQC vulnerable.

title: ITQ for independent analysis of responses to a public consultation

description:
The General Medical Council (GMC) is tendering for independent assurance of our report on the findings of a public consultation. The public consultation relates to our fitness to practise work and is due to run from 1 August 2014 to 31 October 2014.

 We will be consulting on changes to guidance for panels at Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) hearings on what action to take in response to complaints about a doctor. We will also be consulting on the role of warnings and apologies in our procedures.

 The key questions we plan to ask include:

 - What types of allegation should result in the most serious sanctions?

 - Do doctors always have a right to remediate when things have gone wrong?

 - To what extent does a doctor’s insight into their failings impact on the risk they may pose in future?

 We expect to receive approximately 200 to 400 responses to the consultation. This will include structured and unstructured responses in a range of formats including an online consultation portal, letters and round table discussions. Our key stakeholders are individual doctors and their representative bodies, individual members of the public and patient groups, employers and other health bodies.

 The independent assurance will:

 - Look at whether our analysis of the consultation is representative of the views of respondents

 - Ensure our conclusions and recommendations are aligned with the responses from the consultation.

 The feedback we receive via the public consultation will help to shape a revised version of our sanctions guidance to be published in 2015. We will also consider the need to make changes to how we use warnings and apologies in our fitness to practise process.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is seeking a supplier to carry out Health and Disability Assessment Services. Suppliers will be invited to bid for a single national contract. It is anticipated that the contract will be awarded between September 2014 and the end of 2014. Following commencement of the contract there shall be an implementation period which will last up to 6 months. This will be followed by an operational service delivery period which is anticipated to run for an initial three years (36 months) from the point at which any delivery commences by the new supplier. The total initial contract duration is therefore a maximum of 42 months with the further option for the Authority to exercise an extension of two periods of up to one year each. DWP administers a range of Social Security benefits for people who, due to their disability or health condition, are unable to work. Health and disability assessments are carried out to support these benefits – for example to support decisions on entitlement to benefit and the level of benefit award. DWP is tendering for this contract to deliver assessments on behalf of the awarding Authority, its Executive Agencies and those Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs) sponsored by DWP, and on behalf of other bodies, including but not limited to the Ministry of Defence, Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Services, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and the Department of Health. The contract is for national provision excluding Northern Ireland Departments, The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Delivery of the assessments may involve, but will not be restricted to: •the consideration of an individual’s circumstances, their health and disability and the impact of these; •assessing individuals against criteria prescribed by DWP; or the gathering and consideration of evidence to support the above; •the completion of an assessment report on the individual’s circumstances, including advice to DWP – for example, to support DWP staff in determining claimant entitlement to benefits; •the referral of assessment reports to DWP; •follow up liaison with DWP in relation to assessment reports; •access to relevant health professional expertise as required; and •auditing of the quality of assessments, reporting to DWP on this and assisting DWP and its contractors in follow-up activity to examine quality. The primary focus of the contract will relate to assessments delivered in relation to Employment and Support Allowance and Universal Credit as well as Industrial Injuries Benefit; Disability Living Allowance and Attendance Allowance. Assessments will need to be delivered at various locations throughout Great Britain with an expectation that claimants will not need to travel more than 90 minutes by public transport for an assessment. Some provision will need to be made for Face to Face Consultations in the Claimants home and alternative place of residence such as a hospital, or their place of work. The new supplier will at a minimum be able to use some of the DWP estate currently in use to carry out assessments, and may also have access to some of the additional estate utilised by the current supplier.

More detail on the estate and the potential range of requirements on the new supplier in relation to the estate (e.g. estate management, ownership and reviews) will be provided in the Prospectus and ITN. The requirement is that assessments will be completed by Healthcare Professionals regulated by the General Medical Council, Nursing and Midwifery Council or the Health and Care Professions Council and meeting other criteria related to experience, training and competence prescribed by DWP. These criteria may be subject to change over the life of the Contract. It is DWP’s view that TUPE is likely to apply. The new supplier will need to provide services compliant with all relevant legislation including the Welsh Language Act and the Equality Act (2010). DWP will provide the existing IT used and hosted by Atos healthcare during the first year of this service. This will include Assessment Services and Management Services.

DWP will manage the procurement through our e-procurement solution. The Pre Qualification Questionnaire and Prospectus will be published via the e-procurement solution.
