## Notice

The Northamptonshire Health and Care Partnership Board (NHCP) are supporting a two-year transformation programme, Integrated Care Across Northamptonshire (iCAN), to support a shared vision for the future of "A positive lifetime of health, wellbeing and care in our community". A vision which can only be delivered by integrated service and care delivery based on co-produced shared goals and full, long term, commitment from all partners. Northamptonshire Health and Care Partnerships (NHCP) is made up of: Northamptonshire GPs Northampton Health Foundation Trust (NHFT) Kettering General Hospital (KGH) Northampton General Hospital (NGH) Northamptonshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) Northampton County Council (NCC) As well as other organisations such as the East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) This service requirement will be led and managed by Northamptonshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) on behalf of its system partners in NHCP specifically KGH, NGH and NHFT. The iCAN programme aims to: 1. Ensure people stay well 2. Ensure people stay at home 3. Ensure no one is in hospital without a 'Reason to Reside' These aims will be achieved through four pillars: primary & community, frailty, discharge and 'target operating model', (TOM). These pillars also support the Ageing Well agenda nationally and will build on the local Covid recovery and re-set work. Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) is already progressing the TOM pillar which is funded and contracted separately. The NHCP Board has agreed that a system wide assessment across the other three pillars is needed to build a robust data and evidence base, with insights and frontline engagement. All NHCP partner organisations will be committing staff and resource to the iCAN programme. There will be a blended team, but external support is required for the detailed analysis, rigour, pace and change management of a transformation programme of this size and complexity, that we have never before achieved and fully implemented in our system. Therefore, commissioning this level of expertise will support sustainable and longer lasting benefits for the system. Our proposed partner and their teams will work full time with all system partners identified above, ensuring skills transfer and sustainable staff development on day one. NHCP teams will be working side-by-side with the proposed partners team to compliment and transfer skills on a daily basis. This is a direct call-off contract under Lot 3 Complex & transformation consultancy services of the CCS Framework Agreement RM6008: Management Consultancy Framework Two (MCF2).
