This tender, which is currently at the active stage of procurement, utilises an open procedure below the threshold and has a submission deadline of 28th June 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 1st September 2019, continuing until 31st March 2020, with a possibility of extension. This initiative falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with an estimated contract value of £200,000, targeting applicants with expertise in health and social work services based across the United Kingdom and other locations. 

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for consultancies and firms specialising in data security, digital transformation, and health sector engagement to contribute to a national programme that supports local adult social care projects. Businesses well-suited for this contract include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) that can provide both advisory services and practical support to improve cyber security practices. Engaging in this project not only allows bidders to enhance their portfolio but also positions them as critical players in the advancement of digital security in an essential public service sector.

## Notice

The programme will include collaborative work with both adult social care providers and commissioners. The work will build on a successful discovery programme completed during 2018/19 which explored questions including (i) How digital the adult social care provider sector is; (ii) Good practice; and (iii) The extent of data and cyber security risks in the sector. During 2019/20 the successful bidder will: (i) Provide expert advice and practical support to between 10 and 15 local projects, each of which will explore data and cyber security with a group of 10 - 12 adult social care providers; (ii) Evaluate and report on the success of those local projects; (iii) Evaluate and report on the success of a small grants programme; (iv) Keep the Programme Board updated on progress throughout the programme and provide a comprehensive final report. The successful bidder will be awarded a contract for activity during the period September 2019 to March 2020. However, subject to review, the contract may be extended on similar terms to cover additional activity during all or part of the period April 2020 to March 2021. To apply, please send an email requesting further details to cyberproject@rnha.co.uk Additional information: Please note the Registered Nursing Home Association is leading this procurement on behalf of a Programme Board whose members are Digital Social Care, the Local Government Association and the Department of Health and Social Care.
