The closing date for submissions is 5:00 pm on 6th January 2017, with the contract period running from 23rd January until 31st March 2017. The total contract value is set at £50,000 and is located in London. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the health and social care sectors, as it seeks comprehensive planning and analysis regarding workforce demands and future requirements. Companies specialised in labour market analysis, workforce planning, and training services will find themselves well-suited to compete for this contract. The emphasis on community engagement and understanding current workforce initiatives suggests a potential for firms with experience in collaborative project delivery and the development of sustainable workforce solutions to thrive in this procurement. ## Notice Creating and implementing a local workforce strategy capable of supporting the delivery of the models of care in the Local Care Strategy (LCS), Camden's response to the Five Year Forward View. This project will require two main areas of focus: a. Mapping of the current workforce challenges across the health and social care landscape in Camden; b. Planning for future workforce requirements in the context of the priorities emerging from the Local Care Strategy (following completion of the current Strategic Review). * Carry out an analysis of the current workforce capacity and pressures across the system - to baseline the performance and understand the gaps. This will require building on the work currently being undertaken for Camden by the Health London Partnership (HLP) by broadening the scope to include other community health care professionals in addition to mapping local secondary care provider workforce and social care workforce. Additional information: I am writing to inform you that, in response to feedback, the closing date will be extended until 5:00pm on Friday 6th 2017 1.

This project will require two main areas of focus: a. Mapping of the current workforce challenges across the health and social care landscape in Camden; b.

Scope of work and key deliverables The local workforce strategy is required by March 2017, and needs to be capable of supporting the implementation of new models of care across local health and social care partner organisations (including all aspects of the employee lifecycle).

The strategy will need to set out the route to develop a sustainable workforce approach over the longer term across the health and social care landscape - i.e. not being a one off process; * Model future workforce requirements based on the proposed models of care in the LCS and develop associated implementation plans based on population group proposals; * Research new roles, and configurations of activity e.g. blended roles to address pressures and deliver the models of care; * Understand the current training offers in Camden, how these fit with future LCS aspiration - and therefore identifying what future training requirements may be required including leadership development and culture change; * Understand current workforce schemes/initiatives underway in Camden, and their impact; * Develop a partnership framework outlining a joint approach to learning and development; * Research how other areas are addressing workforce requirements of new mode ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbdda6d3-4d3a-49f4-a0e8-460b79d6403c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jan 2017 | | Submission deadline | 6 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Jan 2017 - 31 Mar 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | N E L COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2A 2DU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Hackney | | Electoral ward | Hoxton East & Shoreditch | | Westminster constituency | Hackney South and Shoreditch | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 3 Jan 2017 at 13:59 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbdda6d3-4d3a-49f4-a0e8-460b79d6403c - 28 Dec 2016 at 09:33 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbdda6d3-4d3a-49f4-a0e8-460b79d6403c - 23 Dec 2016 at 14:06 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbdda6d3-4d3a-49f4-a0e8-460b79d6403c - 21 Dec 2016 at 17:40 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbdda6d3-4d3a-49f4-a0e8-460b79d6403c - 29 Nov 2016 at 14:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbdda6d3-4d3a-49f4-a0e8-460b79d6403c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbdda6d3-4d3a-49f4-a0e8-460b79d6403c 3rd January 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9d5d639c-e922-48d0-a6ca-c9f343f52479 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c7fddfdc-f1af-4faa-b4a8-2a1e2fbdc529 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a7427cce-3864-4cef-ae82-ecba918a6859 Clarifications 21-12-2016 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e1969497-fd12-466b-a086-9a3d16081f67 Camden Local care strategy Q and A 28-12-2016 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a28dc170-e83f-4c47-b10b-064c6879bfde Camden workforce pack ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
