## Summary

The Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is seeking professional education expertise to develop a detailed business case for a shared education service in Dorset. This procurement, categorized under business and management consultancy services, is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 18th September 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 1st November 2017 and run until 31st December 2017. Interested suppliers must register on the designated platform and can contact Louise Brereton for more details.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in education system efficiencies and operational modelling. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-placed to compete for this contract due to the potential to contribute to a key public sector initiative aimed at enhancing educational service delivery across several NHS organisations in the South West of England.

## Notice

The education services across Dorset Trusts have a clear vision to maximise the effectiveness and efficiency of our education provision. There are five NHS organisations delivering education services within Dorset: Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust, Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and the Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The Trusts are looking for professional expertise to develop a business case which will outline the recommended operating model to maximise the quality of our education services, develop a work plan for implementing the recommendations, and identify potential benefits and savings resulting from the recommendations. This work is to be carried out under the Dorset Business Support Services (BSS) review which is an enabler for the wider Sustainability and Transformation plan (STP). Interested parties should email louise.brereton@dhcft.nhs.uk in the first instance and will then be invited to join the procurement process. All suppliers will need to be registered on https://uk.eu-supply.com/nhssw.asp
