Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as they can offer tailored solutions that address the unique challenges of healthcare inequalities within the ICS framework.

## Notice

NHSEI is looking to develop a practical proposal(s) for accountability for health inequalities across Integrated Care Systems (ICSs). Strengthened accountability for health inequalities within ICSs has been highlighted as one of the most important levers available for effective system level action. Existing frameworks are insufficient to ensure effective investment, leadership and scale of action required to sustain a long- term shift to address health inequalities as central to core business. The development of a practical set of proposals for enhanced accountability for health inequalities across ICSs is required.
