This initiative is classified under the Software package and information systems category within the services sector, and it is located in Leeds, England (postal code LS2 7UE). Interested suppliers must submit their Expressions of Interest by 9am on 17th January 2022. The contract is expected to have an initial value of approximately £2,000,000, with a potential extension of up to two years. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) well-versed in digital solutions and human resources applications. Businesses specialising in software development, particularly those focused on employee engagement and digital communication tools, will find this opportunity particularly relevant. With the NHS's emphasis on improving employee wellbeing and retention through digital infrastructure, suppliers that can demonstrate innovative approaches and an understanding of the unique needs of NHS staff could gain a competitive advantage. ## Notice The requirement is to create a single, secure point of access to NHS people digital systems to provide easy digital access to people services for all employees. It has become clear that there is a need across the NHS workforce to present a set of services in one convenient access with single sign-on. The core user needs were similar across different roles: > Users wanted one system. > They appreciated variety in their jobs. > They wanted less admin. > Their job motivation is to help people. > Team work and good annual leave is valued. > NHS staff needs to understand their pension. > Differences were found between clinical staff and admin staff regarding rota and flexible working. > Different benefits offered by NHS Life are of varying relevance, depending on the life stage of the users e.g. maternity cover and pension. Health and Wellbeing, Employee Engagement and retention are key issues for the NHS Workforce and having a supporting digital infrastructure will support these. The diverse datasets that the app will have access to opens up the opportunity for providing information to influence employment decision-making for the benefit of the NHS and its employees. There are many combinations of data we could make to offer more intelligent integrated services. A single, secure way into the NHS digital environment for all NHS people, to improve easy access for everyone to the people systems and services, and up to date information they need to support their NHS career, wellbeing, development and employment. A solution that provides a tool for two-way communication between organisations and their people to improve knowledge, connection and engagement and measure the impact of initiatives and policies. Pre-market Engagement NHS England & Improvement are currently undertaking an options appraisal and as part of this have issued a Notice to the market to gauge supplier interest and capability in relation to the delivery of this service. Current thinking is that NHS England & Improvement will enter into a 12-month contract with an approximate initial value of PS2,000,000 exclusive of applicable VAT with the potential for an extension of two years.
