## Summary

The NHS Business Services Authority is initiating a pre-tender market engagement for the project titled "Pre-Tender Market Engagement - Insight Directorate - Discovery". This engagement, aimed at improving data utilisation and service delivery within the NHS, falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services. It is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 4th September 2020. The location for this opportunity is the North East region of England, with potential vendors encouraged to participate through the NHSBSA's e-tendering platform, Bravo Solutions.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research, consultancy, and data analytics to expand their market presence. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to respond, as their expertise could significantly contribute to enhancing the NHS's service delivery and customer experience. Engaging in this process not only allows for collaboration with a major public sector body but also provides the chance to influence future procurement requirements, enabling businesses to potentially establish long-term relationships with the NHS.

## Notice

We are looking to conduct an initial strategic discovery exercise across our Insight Directorate to identify opportunities to better utilise the data collected through the services we provide and seek a third party supplier's expertise on how to take service delivery and customer experience to the next level, to ensure we can drive better informed decision making across the NHS. We welcome the views and expertise of the supplier market through pre-market engagement to help shape our requirements with market knowledge, ahead of any formal procurement exercise.
