We are currently refreshing our organisational strategy which will place a greater emphasis on our role in improving the health of the population we serve, the quality and experience our patients and staff have whilst also reinforcing the identities of the local hospitals. To help achieve this, we are looking to embed a culture of continuous quality improvement across the organisation. 'Quality Improvement' (QI) is the combined and unceasing efforts of everyone within an organisation to make the changes that will lead to better patient outcomes (health), better system performance (care) and better professional development (learning). The programme will aim to deliver: * Sustained and lasting change, through providing constancy of purpose, momentum and infrastructure needed for complex improvement initiatives. * Improved patient outcomes, through the creation of a collaborative, inclusive, and safety-focused work environment. * Improved staff morale and engagement, by giving staff more control over the system they work in, more autotomy to make changes, and equipping them with the tools and skills to tackle these. * Improved organisational culture, as enabling all staff to focus on continual learning and improvement of patient care are identified as fundamental to creating healthy cultures in NHS organisations. * Optimised efficiency and productivity through a sustained focus on reducing unwanted variation in services and practices, ensuring best use of resources. Suppliers who are able to offer services relevant to this requirement are invited to express an interest and respond to a market engagement questionnaire. Further details on how to do this are contained within the additional information section of this notice. Suppliers wishing to participate in this market engagement exercise and express an interest in this requirement should respond to the questionnaire via the online form on the Health Family Single eCommercial System Portal (Atamis) by 17:00 on Friday 29th March 2024. https://atamis-1928.my.salesforce-sites.com/ProSpend__CS_ContractPage?SearchType=Projects&uid=a07Sr000005EMN3IAO&searchStr=&sortStr=Recently+Published&page=1&filters=&County= ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/70118556-4816-4757-8245-73efcd27de4a | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 29 Mar 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS BIRMINGHAM NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B15 1NU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Edgbaston | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Edgbaston | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79410000 - Business and management consultancy services ## Release History - 14 Mar 2024 at 18:00 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/70118556-4816-4757-8245-73efcd27de4a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/70118556-4816-4757-8245-73efcd27de4a 14th March 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-1928.my.salesforce-sites.com/ProSpend__CS_ContractPage?SearchType=Projects&uid=a07Sr000005EMN3IAO&searchStr=&sortStr=Recently+Published&page=1&filters=&County= ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
