Quality Improvement Programme
Notice Description
The Care Quality Commission ('CQC') is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified provider with expertise in quality improvement to help support and implement a sustainable programme of quality improvement across the whole organisation and to support a growing portfolio of quality improvement project work packages. We are looking to appoint a suitably qualified provider for up to three years to help us build competent QI practitioners and leaders and support a growing portfolio of improvement projects where the shift to a quality improvement culture becomes embedded and irreversible. The appointed provider will be expected to tailor their recognised methodology in an appropriate way to CQC's operating model and distributed workforce structure and to build sustainable capacity and capability for continuous quality improvement across the whole organisation with a critical requirement to develop and deliver a sustainable programme of quality improvement work that can be taken forward by the Quality Improvement team. The Quality Improvement Programme is expected to focus on following elements: Core capability-building programme: -Skills for Staff and Leaders Programme: a core capability-building programme to develop the improvement skills of staff and leaders at all levels, anchored in working on real life problems and driving improvements -Skills for Senior Leaders Programme: providing mentoring for senior leaders as they engage with the main capability-building programme -Priority improvement projects. CQC may require the following Additional Services, which will be directly linked to CQC's on-going Quality Improvement Programme to be arranged by purchase order arrangement to support a number of targeted organisation-wide priority improvements that are also designed to build capability and may also include additional services designed to build capability that may be required and directly linked to CQC's quality improvement. This will or may include the following; * Operational and Support Process Improvement; * Digital Transformation; and, * Provider Interface. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this Contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises ('SMEs'). However, any selection of economic operators will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement, and the Contract will be awarded to the most economically advantageous tender.
