## Summary

The procurement process initiated by NHS England is currently in the Tender stage, seeking a Discovery Partner for the project titled "Digital Staff Passports for Bank Workers." This project falls under the Information Technology Services category and is located in England. The tender was published on 5th November 2021, with the submission deadline set for 15th November 2021. The estimated value of the contract is £100,000, and the contract period is expected to begin on 22nd November 2021 and conclude by 28th February 2022. The procurement method adopted for this tender is an open procedure, which is below the threshold for competitive bids.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in digital technology and user experience design. Companies with expertise in developing IT solutions, especially those familiar with healthcare workflows and interoperability, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the focus on innovation and user-centric design, which can significantly enhance operational efficiencies in the NHS through the implementation of digital staff passports for bank workers.

## Notice

A discovery partner is needed to build on existing work to document the current experience of bank workers when they register with multiple staff banks, NHS Professionals and agencies and define the user needs, user journeys, process maps, data flows, data standards, user stories and personas for a new experience using digital staff passports and define the associated benefits. The completed and current work to build on is listed below: 1. Behavioural insight discovery to understand the motivations and challenges faced by bank staff - completed by the NHSE&I Temporary Staffing Team. 2. Doctors in Training (DiT) discovery to define the user needs, process maps, data flows, data standards and personas for DiT who frequently rotate - completed by the NHSE&I Enabling Staff Movements team in partnership with NHSX and HEE. 3. Workforce interoperability pilots across 4 ICSs developing a proof of concept for digital staff passports to be interoperable with collaborative banks - ongoing and led as a joint project between the NHSE&I Workforce Optimisation, Enabling Staff Movements and Temporary Staffing teams. 4. Discovery work into all staff movements, excluding bank workers, is also getting underway and this will provide a high-level view of all staff movements and the potential benefits of digital staff passports. This high-level discovery work will dovetail with this detailed discovery work for bank workers. 5. Work currently underway to convert the NHS Employment Checks Standards and the Core Skills Training Framework into 'Trust or Trusted Frameworks'. This discovery work will be informed by the outputs of that work. 6. Diagrammatic example of a user journey, user stories, 'to be' process map, data flow, Wireframe and personas are included in the appendix.
