It's an ambitious programme with the aim that all CQC registered adult social care services will have completed the DSPT to 'standards met'. The programme is delivered by a diverse group of care sector organisations, including many local care associations, with colleagues from the NHS, ADASS and local councils also involved. Better Security, Better Care is led by a programme board whose members are NHSX, NHS Digital, NHS England and Improvement, the Local Government Association, the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services and, Digital Social Care on behalf of care providers. Reflecting the increased importance of the secure sharing of information between health and care services, the programme requires an evaluation of its impact in the care sector. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c7f6c8bd-bb1a-4211-9224-7aa0eb5ff206 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 19 Nov 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Dec 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £75,000 | | 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 | REGISTERED NURSING HOME ASSOCIATION LIMITED | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B30 3JN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | King's Norton North | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Northfield | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 1 Nov 2021 at 20:17 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c7f6c8bd-bb1a-4211-9224-7aa0eb5ff206 - 27 Oct 2021 at 10:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c7f6c8bd-bb1a-4211-9224-7aa0eb5ff206 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c7f6c8bd-bb1a-4211-9224-7aa0eb5ff206 1st November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/daca11ba-cc70-4d1d-8bbb-18ae0a905268 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b851d8cd-b31c-4886-b3a9-180fa1a6e53b ## Notice URLs - https://www.digitalsocialcare.co.uk/data-security-protecting-my-information/better-security-better-care/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
