## Notice

Specifically: building digital and data leadership expertise and strong board-level accountability for digital transformation - this includes having a CIO or CCIO (or role within this function) on the ICS board; establishing ICS board governance to regularly review digital and data strategy, cyber security, services, delivery and risks, underpinned by meaningful metrics and targets; owning a digital and data strategy that has had wide input from clinical representatives from across the organisation; ensuring board ownership of a digital and data strategy that is linked to the ICS strategy and underpinned by a sustainable financial plan; identifying digital and data solutions to improve care by regularly engaging with frontline users and citizens; investing in regular board development sessions to develop digital competence, manage cyber security risk and achieve the sustainability agenda; investing in a multidisciplinary CCIO and CNIO function. HEE believes that it is highly unlikely for any other supplier to be able to provide the following service provided by NHSP as a current supplier for the following reasons as outlined within the Case for Direct Award.
