Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is currently in the planning stage of the DHDO (Defence Healthcare Delivery Optimisation) programme, which aims to transform primary healthcare services across the UK. An engagement announcement has been issued, inviting providers to contribute insights into their proven services and innovations in the Independent Healthcare Sector. Key dates include the engagement end date, set for 25 March 2019, and the programme's pilot phase, which will take place between April 2019 and April 2020. This initiative falls within the health services industry category and will primarily be based in Lichfield, England, with the postal code WS14 9PY.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for growth for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those offering innovative healthcare solutions and management techniques. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the MOD is actively seeking collaboration to develop a modernised and standardised delivery model for primary healthcare. By engaging in this process, companies can position themselves to potentially be part of follow-up market engagement activities, paving the way for future contracts and collaborations within the Defence sector.

Notice Title

DHDO Market Engagement Announcement

Notice Description

What is the DHDO Programme? A major strategic review of the service has recently been undertaken - the Defence Healthcare Delivery Optimisation (DHDO) study - and the service is embarking on an exciting programme of transformation, the DHDO programme. This will involve introducing a standard UK-wide, MOD owned operating model, digitising aspects of healthcare delivery, introducing modern workforce management techniques and working at scale. A pilot of the new model, potential techniques and digital tools will take place between Apr 19 and Apr 20. How can you help the DHDO Programme? In considering implementation options, the MOD is looking to explore relevant capability in the Independent Healthcare Sector (IHS) in the UK to support new, improved ways of delivering and managing Primary Healthcare services (PHC). The DHDO programme would like to hear from providers within the market place to understand more about the proven services that are out there, including new innovations, and how these services could support MOD in future delivery of a modernised, standardised, effective and efficient UK wide PHC service. You are cordially invited to complete and submit the associated DHDO questionnaire (as per the attachment to this notice) to tell us more about what services you deliver and where they may add benefit to the MOD. Subsequently, you may be invited to take part in follow-up market engagement activities where further exploratory conversations will take place. For full detail of this request for information please refer to the attachment to this notice.
