title: RM4200 L0647 Collaborative Service Design And Prototyping Process For Social Ventures

description: Conducting a user-focussed collaborative service design and prototyping process, working with group of non-governmental stakeholders. The objectives of this project are aimed at ‘social ventures’, i.e. organisations whose operations have a positive social impact, and who, at some stage in their growth journey, will take on or seek to take on social investment. In seeking the finance, funding and support needed along this growth journey, social ventures face a number of challenges that form part of the overall user experience of the social finance ecosystem. For the purposes of this project The Authority wishes to focus on those challenges that relate to experiences and touch-points, rather than structural market issues. Earlier this year The Authority conducted extensive research, in partnership with the Design Council, into these challenges and how they manifest in the growth journeys of different types of social venture. These challenges included: • A great deal of time wasted on funding and investment applications; • Language barriers when trying to understand funders’ and investors’ priorities; what is required of ventures and how investment is structured; and • Lack of skills crossover between investors and ventures, particularly in relation to delivering and reporting social impact. In light of the research, the Authority now needs to work with stakeholders across the market to collaboratively develop practical interventions that respond to the challenges identified. We require the services of an organisation that can lead this process to deliver 2-4 prototype interventions, services and/or products that demonstrate the potential to substantively improve the experience of ventures seeking social finance.

description: In December 2013 AHVLA announced a major reorganisation to its Scanning Surveillance operations including the closure of some regional laboratories which will demand new ways of working and a revised approach to the capture of disease surveillance information. IT system enhancements have been highlighted as an enabler to the successful delivery of the change programme, both in the short and medium term. An initial GDS “Discovery” stage provided a high level view of systems requirements and priorities driven by user and stakeholder consultation. The changes not only anticipate a reduction in operating costs, but also an improvement in surveillance data quality and coverage. In summary, the new arrangements should provide better surveillance information as well as reducing costs.

title: Decision Support Data for the Thematic Innovation Programme

description: Introduction The purpose of Innovate UK is to accelerate economic growth by connecting, funding and supporting business-led innovation. Our activities fall into three broad, interlinked categories: responsive, challenge-led and infrastructure. In the latter category, we set up centres, networks or other facilities, such as Catapults or the Knowledge Transfer Network, in order to provide the facilities and expertise companies may need to innovate. In the responsive category, interventions such as Smart enable applicants to bring forward their own innovation ideas for public sector investment. In the challenge-led categories the Innovation Programme team (IPROG) identify targeted thematic areas for public sector investment where applicants compete for public sector investment (grants) through competitions such as those for Collaborative R&D. Where responsive mode programmes help to support high growth companies, challenge-led programme are about identifying and supporting the sectors of the future. The scope of this Decision Support Data specification is the challenge-led programmes managed as a set of thematic areas by IPROG. The IPROG team use 4 key tests in order to determine the suitability of an area for a targeted intervention: •Is the market big enough? •Can the UK lead this market? •Is the timing right? •Why public sector investment? In its early years of operation, it has often proved difficult for IPROG to fully distribute the public sector investment budget allocated to this type of intervention. As a consequence there was very little need to consider the relative merits of the interventions across different thematic areas, so long as a positive return on investment could be expected, as there was no (locally) significant lost-opportunity cost if the only alternative outcome was to underspend the allocated investment budget. Today, as an established component of the UK innovation landscape, the capacity for the IPROG team to invest across a wide range of thematic areas is now significantly larger than the available budget. This improved capacity is to be welcomed but it now means our investment decisions have become more complex, as any one investment has a lost-opportunity cost in the form of a potential displaced investment in any of the other thematic areas. The goal of this procurement exercise is to lay out for the IPROG team a decision support system which will provide us with near term data which can be used to inform our investment alternatives across the thematic portfolio. It is important to note that the goal of the procurement is not to set up a long-term economic study of the overall impact the challenge-led programmes. This is already in progress with our economics team and reflects the critical importance it has for Innovate UK to be able to inform government policy and to provide evidence of the effective use of the public money it invests. We’re looking for early indicators of the potential size of the market – and tangible evidence of the potential for UK to derive wealth in it – for example, by tracking private sector investment in new products, processes and services, Desired Outcomes and Timeline The desired outcome of the implemented decision support system is to inform the IPROG team on at least an annual basis (preferably quarterly) of the relative attractiveness of different thematic areas for targeted investment. The required timeline for the implementation is as follows: •April 2015: commence data collection •September 2015: data used to inform 16/17 investment plans •December 2015: data used to analyse 16/17 investment plan •March 2016: data used to analyse the completed 15/16 plan •April 2016: system becomes established practice The deliverable for this project is a set of measures that the IPROG team can use to improve our understanding of the technologies or themes we operate in, or have the potential to operate in, in order to enhance our strategic decision making. The report (to be delivered in stages) should include; •A review of such measures used elsewhere (e.g. in the private sector investment markets, or innovation agencies in other countries); •A set of measures or metrics that the IPROG team can use to enhance our strategic decision making, with clear justification for the use of such measures or metrics; •Data collection to meet the above timetable, with a review of the effectiveness of selected measures after the September and December waves, with amendments made to the approach as appropriate. •A clear set of proposals as to how such analysis can become business-as-usual with the process being run in-house. Requirements 1.Follow on Private Investment The willingness of the private sector to follow IPROG’s investment lead can provide us with objective evidence of the growing confidence in the private sector of potential opportunities. It is also a very interesting measure for us from a strategic point of view as it is important that: •our investment does not displace early stage private sector investment; or •create long term private sector dependencies on our interventions. Our aspiration is that there may be characteristics of the follow on private sector investment which not only suggests that we should be continuing with targeted investment but which also allow us to shape our investment priorities across the whole thematic portfolio. A further aspiration is that there may also be other characteristics of the follow on private sector investment which may in fact suggest that we should reduce the extent of our public sector investment (even if the relative priority is high) as some of the barriers to innovation are lowered or removed. This latter aspiration is also interesting strategically because it may also define a potential boundary between our activities in support of innovation policy (BIS – Business, Innovation & Skills) and those that are in support of industrial strategy (BIS – Business & Local Growth). IPROG also manages a number of programmes reflecting industrial strategy (e.g. aerospace and automotive) and it would be useful to better understand the nature of the boundary between them and the challenge-led programme. Requirement 1: To critically evaluate the potential of follow-on private sector investment to provide near term (at least annual, preferably quarterly) decision support data for IPROG thematic investments. 2. Exceptional Sales and/or PAYE growth There is a growing school of thought that only a relatively small number of exceptionally high growth companies are responsible for a relatively large proportion of our overall economic growth. There is therefore a significant risk that the impact of IPROG investment is being diluted by allocations into thematic areas that are only attracting business with a modest growth trajectory. Near term indicators that can help to identify the relative growth potential of the different thematic areas may also allow us to better understand the relative attractiveness of the different thematic areas from this perspective. Requirement 2: To critically evaluate the potential for exceptional sales and/or PAYE growth to provide near term (at least annual, preferably quarterly) decision support data for IPROG thematic investments. 3. Alternative Approaches The approaches to decision support described above are only are initial thoughts on how we might tackle the challenges associated with our near term investment decisions. We do wish for these to be critically evaluated and we do plan to take these forward if they stand up to detailed scrutiny. However, we are the UK’s Innovation Agency and we enjoy pushing boundaries to uncover greater value. So we also invite you to submit any alternative approaches or variants that you believe will provide us with a superior decision support system. These alternatives can be at an early stage of development and working with us would provide you with a unique opportunity for evaluation. We would be particularly impressed, if a successful evaluation would then lead in turn to an opportunity for commercialisation. It is important though that such an exploratory exercise is run along side other approaches which we can rely on to improve our operational effectiveness – the primary goal of this activity. Requirement 3: To submit a proposal for an alternative approach or variant which would provide us with a superior decision support system and/or for opportunities to work with us in the evaluation/commercialisation of leading edge research associated with managing public sector investment. Decision Support within a Thematic Area A number of the measures being suggested may also enable better decisions to be made on the investments choices we make within each thematic area. We would be interested in exploring this further but it is out of scope of this activity. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

The intention with the new digital services is to grow that capability in terms of both agile methodology and the use of new tools and techniques. This will mean some roles can be duplicated using both LR and external resource. For example, it may be that LR developers will shadow external resource during the development. Agile Teams will remain relatively larger than normal at this stage as Land Registry seeks to continue to grow its in-house capability with a mix of internal and external resource. This is very much seen as an essential investment to help reduce support costs further down the line.

title: The Provision of a GP Out of Hours Service (GPOOH) for NHS Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group

description: NHS Bolton Clinical Commissioning group (NHS Bolton CCG) is inviting suitably qualified service providers to deliver a GP Out of Hours (GP OOH) service. As set out in Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS, the Government is committed to developing a coherent 24/7 urgent care service in every area of England that makes sense to patients when they have to make choices about their care and to drive the integration of services. NHS Bolton CCG is committed to the provision of a high- quality GP OOH Service that is integrated with the 24/7 urgent and emergency care model in Bolton and which meets the values, rights, obligations and expectations of patients as set out in the NHS Constitution. The Service shall be provided to individuals who are, or believe themselves to be, acutely ill with a condition that requires urgent attention, such that their immediate care needs cannot safely be deferred until the next day or to the end of the out of hours period. It is required to be sustainable, based on a service model that is clinically and commercially robust, that can attract and retain suitably qualified competent practitioners, integrated with other services and able to deliver the service aims. The vision for Bolton is to achieve an optimal model of urgent care. NHS Bolton CCG expects the GP OOH Service Provider to be integrated within the Bolton System Resilience Group, NHS 111 Quality Assurance Committee and associated clinical pathway and sub-groups. The members of the Bolton System Resilience Group consist of commissioners from NHS Bolton CCG, Bolton Council and local health and social care providers, enabling a whole system approach to be adopted in shaping the model of urgent care in Bolton. The Provider will actively participate in the development and implementation of the shared strategy for the integrated delivery of out of hours care in Bolton in partnership with all relevant professionals, teams, organisations and Trusts within the Bolton health and social care system. It is essential that the GP OOH Service Provider contributes to the Bolton Urgent and Emergency Care model which takes into account the challenges facing health and social care now and in the future and the changes and reforms needed to develop a model that is patient centred, responsive, safe, resilient, and fit for purpose to ensure patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time. The Service will represent value for money. The Provider will be expected to benchmark their costs against other comparator boroughs, taking into account the demographic profile of the Bolton area. The contract will be for a duration of 5 years with an option to extend for a further 2 years subject to satisfactory performance. The expected service commencement date is 1st November 2015.
