The tender period concluded on 5th May 2015, and the contract period is set to span from 1st July 2015 to 30th June 2020, with a total contract value of up to £9 million. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare improvement, training, and consultancy services. Companies that focus on lean management methodologies, patient safety, and operational efficiency would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

The TDA is seeking a long term partner to develop and implement a large scale change programme within a number of target NHS Trusts. The programme will implement the principles of Toyota Production System as developed since its' inception, in the NHS healthcare environment. With patient safety paramount the need to provide any change programme within a clinically safe and effective environment is essential. The programme is expected to not only reduce waste and flow variability but to also improve quality as errors and un-necessary and variance tasks are removed and time/recourses are made available to provide safer, better services. The programme will: -- Develop and embed lean techniques and processes into the TDA team and selected NHS Trusts; -- Include site leader, team leaders and participant training process; -- Incorporate mentoring and coaching of leaders; -- Be certificated to ensure participants meet the appropriate standard to lead and implement lean programmes to a consistent standard and depth of knowledge; and, -- Build capability for further roll-out across the NHS. It is envisaged the NHS Trusts will be selected via a two stage application process to participate in the programme. The TDA will commence long listing of participants during the tender process, with a view to validation and shortlisting once the contract is awarded. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6182bd41-e792-476a-9cdb-f7c381f168e5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 5 May 2015 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2015 - 30 Jun 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £9,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 6LH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | St George's | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80521000 - Training programme services - 80532000 - Management training services - 80561000 - Health training services ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6182bd41-e792-476a-9cdb-f7c381f168e5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6182bd41-e792-476a-9cdb-f7c381f168e5 1st April 2015 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/583d9e74-76d8-4a0c-bfd3-cbd6722aa972 Healthcare Improvement Services - Part B Tender Schedules (59867) - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5cae84d1-71cf-4793-9d3b-509fb56fa15f Healthcare Improvement Services - Part B (59867) - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9cc9a730-f7e2-4321-9191-253e3da121fe Updated pricing schedule - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d3529e47-ce0d-4ed7-ad2c-324a31570578 Healthcare Improvement Services - Part A (59867) - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5f810cec-e35e-4e0a-bea6-31e36c7fa038 Timetable & evaluation clarifications - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ef722fdf-8e1c-4441-9266-d52deb3c4b94 Healthcare Improvement Services - Terms and Conditions (59867).docx - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health/about/procurement BMS website details ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
