## Summary

NHS England is seeking proposals for a tender titled "Chaplaincy / Pastoral, Spiritual and Religious Care Guidelines: Engagement and re-write." This initiative falls under the health services category, with a total contract value of £60,000. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 19 November 2021. The project will take place in Leeds, England, and aims to develop inclusive care guidelines through stakeholder engagement and collaboration with an established independent Steering Group.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for companies specialising in health services, business development consultancy, and those that provide consultancy for spiritual and religious care. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, as their insights and innovative approaches can greatly contribute to the enhancement of these guidelines. The successful bidder will influence significant improvements in care standards and will benefit from a positive association with NHS England's ethos of inclusion and patient-centred care.

## Notice

We are seeking an external provider to undertake engagement with a wide range of stakeholders and re-write the Guidelines for Pastoral, Spiritual and Religious (PSR) care. We expect the guidelines to focus on areas of good practice, to address inequalities in provision and how PSR care can support patients, families, and staff. The external provider will be supported by an independent Steering Group, established to support the development of the guidelines. This steering group has already been established at the start of the process and has the primary purpose of steering the development of the guidelines and ensuring that the provider appointed is engaging with a wide-range of stakeholders to inform the writing of the final document. Whilst the Steering Group will be in the position to influence the development of the guidelines, the responsibility for the guidelines remains with NHS England. However, the Steering Group will have a role of ensuring that the guidelines that are being produced align with the NHS values around inclusion and patient choice.
