"description": "The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is conducting pre-market research and will undertake research meetings with the first five interested potential tenderers who are able to demonstrate, following their expression of interest, that they are capable of delivering these requirements to the Service across Scotland. This will be based upon the Service's assessment of their experience in this area: invitations shall be at its sole discretion and its decision shall be final. The questions which potential tenderers will be asked for views on at the presentations are: 1. Please set out your thinking in terms of the latest/leading edge best practice in terms of Clinical Governance Services and how best an organisation such as the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service might implement them. 2. Please advise of any technological or clinical technical innovations you know of which are in development and which may become available for service improvement over the next four years. 3. Please advise of any ways in which innovative service delivery methods could be implemented into Service procedures / training protocols. 4. Please advise of any anticipated changes in legislation or clinical standards which may affect delivery of these services. Candidates will have 30 minutes to present their ideas followed by 15 minutes of questions and answers. Interested parties must set out their relevant areas of experience and expertise in delivering these services prior to being invited to present. It should be noted that participation in these meetings will not form part of the subsequent competition and no organisation which does not take part will be prevented from participating in that competition on such a basis.
