## Summary

The Midlands & Lancashire C S U has awarded a contract for the supply of HII Research Analysis and Evaluation in the health inequalities sector. The contract involves producing webinars and reports aimed at NHS providers and ICBs, with key dates including the tender period ending on February 9, 2024, and the contract period from February 23 to March 31, 2024. The procurement method used was a competitive quotation (below threshold).

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the project management consultancy services sector to engage with health inequalities initiatives. Businesses with experience in research consultancy services may find this contract particularly suited for collaboration. The focus on reducing health inequalities and improving access to healthcare services can benefit companies looking to contribute to social impact initiatives within the healthcare industry.

## Notice

We will produce two webinars over the contract period. These will be virtual sessions open to NHS providers and ICBs, aimed primarily at board members, senior leaders, and health inequalities leads. These events have been selected as they focus on areas of particular interest to our members and NHSE. * Co-production with communities as a solution to health inequalities - Thursday 8 February 2024. They will learn about the different models of co-production with communities and how these could be applied to the work at trust level. They will hear about the value of working with underserved communities to understand their experiences accessing healthcare services and how this can contribute to the wider agenda of reducing health inequalities; and discuss with others the enablers and blockers that trusts face when seeking to engage with communities in their service design and development. * Improving access and engagement for rural and coastal communities - Monday 25 March 2024. This webinar will explore the health inequalities experienced by rural and coastal communities and present examples of trustled interventions that have improved access to services, workforce recruitment and retention, and increased engagement with these populations. These discussions, followed by an interactive Q&A, will allow reflective dialogue between trust leaders to implement effective change for these communities. We will produce a report on co-production in design of equitable services. The report will build on the learnings from the webinar on 8th Feb, bringing together practical insights on the topic of coproduction and engagement with communities. We will share case studies from trusts that have effectively embedded co-production work, specifically around developing solutions to tackle health inequalities with communities. We will also provide recommendations for trust leaders on how to embed co-production principles in their own health inequalities work. An end of programme report will summarise the outputs we have delivered via our health inequalities programme in 2023/24 (Q4), outlining the level of impact and engagement with our members and any insights from members about barriers or challenges they are facing in this area. We will also create the opportunity for participants to collaborate and share best practice during this time by signposting to existing resources and examples of work that trusts are doing in this space and disseminating learning from our events.
