This procurement is classified under 'Research and development services and related consultancy services', with a budget of £20,000. The tender period concludes on 26th October 2017, and the contract period will run from 1st November 2017 to 30th March 2018. This process is currently at the tender stage. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focusing on consultancy and development of financial models in the healthcare sector. Companies adept in workforce management and sustainable business practices would be well-suited to compete, particularly those with a proven track record in developing strategies that enhance recruitment and retention in healthcare environments. As hospitals look to customise effective retention models based on evidence-based practices, this initiative could foster collaborations that lead to innovative solutions in workforce development. ## Notice A Midlands based hospital addressed the central issue of retention and recruitment by offering a bespoke retention model for SAS doctors. This model supported SAS Doctors with a range of development which had a positive effect on retention rates. The implementation of this model resulted in savings, lower spend on agency, better recruitment and retention rates and a positive impact on the four-hour target performance. With the support of Health Education England in the East Midlands area this model was piloted across the East Midlands and beyond. An independent evaluation of this work found that there were a number of Hospitals that had implemented local models to address workforce development challenges in both areas of recruitment and retention. The aim is to design and develop of a financial business model for sustainable SAS doctor workforce retention. The objectives are to: * Undertake a detailed analysis of the financial business models put in place by Hospitals to sustainably retain SAS doctors. * Develop an evidence based generic financial business model to provide support in retaining SAS doctors. * Develop resources to support the implementation of a generic model for SAS workforce development and retention * Provide examples of scenarios that would require an adjustment to the generic model. It is anticipated that this would help hospitals to tailor the generic model to suit their own local needs. Deliverables 1. A clear and concise business report containing: i) A detailed analysis of existing financial business models that have been used by hospitals to retain SAS doctors ii) An evidence based financial business model that could be used by Hospitals to support the implementation of the SAS doctor retention model. iii) A range of scenarios that might trigger the need for an adjustment to the model with an identification of any risks and associated mitigation with the recommended course of action. iv) Identification of any inter-dependencies. 2. A clear project plan of deliverables with associated timelines and costings. 3. Resources to support the implementation of a generic model for SAS workforce development and retention 4. A presentation of the work to the national Health Education England Urgent and Emergency Care Workforce Programme Board. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/809b8430-fe64-4e4b-890d-06118a312c76 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 26 Oct 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2017 - 30 Mar 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | 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 | HEALTH EDUCATION ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC1B 5DN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 11 Oct 2017 at 15:35 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/809b8430-fe64-4e4b-890d-06118a312c76 - 11 Oct 2017 at 15:23 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/809b8430-fe64-4e4b-890d-06118a312c76 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/809b8430-fe64-4e4b-890d-06118a312c76 11th October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://hee.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
