This initiative aims to assess the impact and effectiveness of the Anchor Institutes in the region, focusing on workforce and system transformation. The procurement method is 'selective', with a 'Restricted procedure' above threshold. The tender period ends on October 26, 2023, and the contract period is from January 22, 2024, to January 22, 2025, with the University of East Anglia being the contracting authority. This tender presents an opportunity for consultancy firms specialized in evaluation services to contribute to the evaluation of Anchor Institutes' impact in the East of England. Businesses with a focus on healthcare, workforce transformation, and system integration are well-suited to compete for this tender. The University of East Anglia is looking for partners who can engage in co-production and demonstrate expertise in capturing contribution narratives for stakeholder engagement and regional impact evaluation. ## Notice NHS England (formerly known as Health Education) East of England has invested in six Higher Education Institutions, to maximise utilisation of academic expertise in the adoption and uptake of emergent Integrated Care Systems, working as Anchor Institutions. Integrated Care Systems are driven by the largest legislative changes introduced by NHS England, who have established 42 Integrated Care Boards across England, from 1st July 2022 in line with it's duty in the Health and Care Act 2022. In the East of England, each HEI's engagement as an Anchor Institute is focused across their local Integrated Care System(s). At baseline, there is no universal model, or shared understanding across the 6 HEIs, as to what an Anchor Institute (AI) is or should be, with each undertaking separate workstreams to align these with local context and priorities. Further, there is no consensus on a regional theory for change for the AIs, and their contribution potential to workforce and system transformation. Therefore, at the heart of this evaluation is a commitment to co-production, capturing contribution narratives with people and communities so that broad stakeholder engagement is achieved, from setting the strategic direction to adapting innovations to the local context, through to evaluation of regional impact. A focus is on co-creating the evaluation for enhanced shared learning in terms of innovation adoption strategies. For example, new and emergent roles being developed in response to new service models associated with health and care integration, as a sustainable approach to the spread of local innovations impacting workforce and system level transformation beyond the East of England. The overarching objective is to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of the facilitation of ANCHOR Institutes across the east of England Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fd3e4ea9-80b5-463a-ab4b-9f97f76d1366 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 26 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Jan 2024 - 22 Jan 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR4 7TJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Norwich | | Electoral ward | University | | Westminster constituency | Norwich South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services ## Release History - 4 Oct 2023 at 15:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fd3e4ea9-80b5-463a-ab4b-9f97f76d1366 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fd3e4ea9-80b5-463a-ab4b-9f97f76d1366 4th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofeastanglia/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
