This initiative falls under the health services category and is expected to conclude by 31 March 2022. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 29 October 2021. The project aims to create a minimum of five tools to enhance the quality of learning and improvement following patient safety incidents, with a budget of £55,000. The contract will commence on 22 November 2021, and delivery will take place across England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in health service research and tools development. Firms that specialise in creating innovative solutions for patient safety and those familiar with the NHS frameworks will find this project aligns well with their capabilities. Engaging in this project can enhance visibility and establish relationships with key stakeholders in the healthcare sector, ultimately fostering business growth. ## Notice The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) is a key part of the NHS Patient Safety Strategy. It aims to significantly enhance the quality of learning and improvement following patient safety incidents. This project will require an initial overview of currently available tools and resources for complementary methods to investigation. Based on the learning from this scoping exercise we anticipate the development of new or refreshed tools to prompt systems thinking and a standardised approach to the application of a variety of tools/techniques to support learning from patient safety incidents using complementary methods to traditional incident investigations. We expect a minimum of five tools to be created including tools to perform After Action Reviews, debriefs and safety huddles. These tools must be tested with representative users to validate the usability of the design. The work must be completed by 31 March 2022. NHSEI wishes to commission an England-wide review of the role and expectations of MVPs (including in relation to parents of babies in neonatal units), arrangements for the remuneration and claiming of expenses by SUV members and issue good practice guidance to commissioners of MVPs. The guidance should give clear, concise and practical suggestions to commissioners about reasonable expectations of MVPs and effective support arrangements (including remuneration). The guidance should reflect the varying operating conditions, e.g., urban vs rural, Local Maternity Systems with single providers and or multiple providers/maternity unit sites.
