## Summary

The procurement process is led by NHS England, which has issued a tender for the "Professional Nurse Advocate Programme - Evaluation" in the health services sector, specifically focusing on research services. This contract, valued at £110,000, is located in Leeds, England. The procurement method used is a limited competitive quotation process, which is below threshold. The tender period ended on 17th February 2022, and the contract is set to commence from 9th March 2022 and conclude on 30th December 2022. Recent awards were made on 8th March 2022, with Coventry University being the selected supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in health service evaluation and research, particularly those specialising in programme assessments and clinical supervision evaluations. Companies that possess expertise in qualitative research methodologies, including interviews and focus groups, would be well-positioned to compete. The structured nature of the evaluation and the potential for diverse work-packages make it advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to enhance their portfolio in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

The Authority required a supplier to undertake an evaluation of the impact of the Professional Nurse Advocates (PNA) programme on the PNAs and wider impact of PNAs in a team with recommendations for improvements. We would expect the following stages to be included in this work: 1. Document the baseline before the PNA programme 2. Evaluate the PNA model 3. Assess the usefulness of using one or all elements of the model and the perceived impact and outcomes 4. Restorative clinical supervision - evaluation specifically of the perceived benefits. The evaluation specification details four separate work-packages. These are stand-alone packages, which have been presented here as options to allow choices for the supplier, other delivery options can be incorporated into the tender document. The potential for linkages and interdependencies between these work-packages has been described but is not exhaustive. We would expect the research commission to include interviews and focus groups with individuals to see if different fields of practice have different experiences, and if the programme works better in some settings than others. The evaluation will be theory-driven throughout; all evaluation activities will incorporate elements to develop and refine a programme theory. This process will explicate the role of programme implementation activities and describe assumptions about how these are intended to achieve specific intermediate and distal outcomes. The importance of context in determining the extent to which these assumptions contribute to expected changes will be incorporated into this programme theory.
