## Summary

NHS England is seeking to award a contract for a research project entitled "Research to Assess the Impact of Hospice-Led Interventions on the Use of Acute Care Services and Outcomes for Patients". This initiative falls within the industry category of research consultancy services, and the procurement process is currently in the Award stage. The tender was published on 23 November 2016, with the submission deadline on 9 December 2016, and the contract period spans from 3 January 2017 to 30 November 2017. The project aims to evaluate how hospice-led interventions can improve hospital discharge processes for patients nearing the end of life.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in research consultancy services, particularly those with experience in healthcare and hospice-related studies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as this project aims to assess various service models and their applicability across different localities. Firms interested in this contract should have a strong background in health research, data analysis, and evidence dissemination to effectively compete for this opportunity.

## Notice

NHS England would like to commission a research project to assess the impact of hospice-led interventions. The project is specifically concerned with the ways in which different service models facilitate the timely transfer out of hospital for people approaching the end of life and prevent avoidable admissions. The results of the work should enable replication of successful interventions by disseminating evidence and guidance to commissioners, hospices and other providers. The research must be capable of differentiating those interventions that will be generally applicable in all areas and circumstances and those that are specific to individual localities and circumstances. Parties wishing to bid should register on NHS England's e-procurement portal which is available by copying the following into their web browser: https://nhsengland.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html All submissions must be made using this e-tendering solution and further information about this opportunity will be available on the e-procurement site once the opportunity is published w/c 28th November 2016.
