## Summary

NHS England is currently conducting a tender for the evaluation of their initiative titled "Evaluation of Getting to Outstanding: improving end of life care across the system". This project falls within the industry category of evaluation consultancy services and is based in Leeds, England. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 22 June 2021. The total contract value is £24,999, and the contract is expected to commence on 29 June 2021, concluding on 31 March 2022. The procurement method is defined as a limited competitive quotation below threshold.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in consultancy services, particularly those specialising in healthcare evaluation and quality improvement. SMEs, especially those with experience in collaborating with Integrated Care Systems (ICSs), would be well-suited to compete for this contract. By participating in this project, businesses can contribute to the development and evaluation of services aimed at enhancing end-of-life care, positioning themselves as key players in the healthcare consultancy sector.

## Notice

This QI support will ultimately aid delivery of the objectives of the Palliative and End of Life (PEoLC) Care 5-Year Strategy. This 5-year strategy (still in development at the time of writing) will set three strategic priorities for PEoLC Care: * Improving access * Improving quality * Improving sustainability. Year 1 of the programme (2021/22) will consist of the design, refinement and finalisation of a PEoLC QI tool and associated resources with the support of 2-3 'early implementer' ICSs. In subsequent years, the tool will be rolled out within a greater number of ICSs and become part of NHS England and NHS Improvement's (NHSEI's) business as usual support offer to ICSs. As the programme begins, we want to commission an external evaluation partner to: * Work alongside the programme during Year 1 to identify measures and methods that can be used to evaluate the rollout and impact of the programme during subsequent years. * Undertake an initial process evaluation of the design and development of the QI support offer, to inform both the support offer's ongoing development and to identify learning for any future programmes developing tools or resources in collaboration with systems.
