## Summary

The NHS England is seeking a supplier to conduct an evaluation of the Professional Nurse Advocate Programme, aimed at assessing its impact and effectiveness. This tender, with the title "Professional Nurse Advocate Programme - Evaluation," falls under the healthcare services industry, specifically focusing on research services. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with bids accepted until 17th February 2022. The contract, valued at £110,000, is expected to commence on 7th March 2022 and conclude on 30th December 2022. The delivery address is located in Leeds, England, with the postal code LS2 7UE.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for businesses specialising in health services research or evaluation methodologies. Companies experienced in conducting qualitative assessments, such as interviews and focus groups, will find themselves well-positioned to compete for this tender. Specifically, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that offer innovative evaluation strategies and have a background in healthcare-related projects could considerably benefit from this contract, as the Authority values tailored approaches to assessing programme impact.

## Notice

The Authority is looking for 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.
