This initiative, classified under the CPV code for research services, is based in London, England, and has a value of £930,000. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 25th February 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 1st July 2022 and conclude by 30th June 2025. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in research services and the healthcare sector. Businesses that focus on quality improvement indicators, particularly those familiar with the NHS and its operational structures, will find this tender particularly relevant. Engaging in this project could enhance their capabilities, broaden their service offerings, and strengthen their presence within the health and social care systems. ## Notice NICE has managed an independent and transparent process for developing and maintaining Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) indicators since April 2009. In 2011 our remit was extended to include Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) level indicators and in 2019 we were asked to work in partnership with NHS Digital to host and assure the national library of quality indicators. The indicators developed or assured by NICE are added to an indicator menu (https://www.nice.org.uk/Standards-and-Indicators/index). The menu contains 338 indicators on different topics. Some indicators are included in national frameworks, e.g., QOF, CCG Outcome Indicator Set (CCG OIS), NHS System Oversight (CCG SOF). Indicators can also be used by any organisation for use in local or national quality improvement schemes Whilst NICE's work to date has focused on indicators that operate at general practice level (predominantly indicators suitable for use in the QOF) and CCG indicators for inclusion in national frameworks, NICE anticipates future indicator work will have a wider scope. Our scope will now extend to development of indicators at a system level to support the newer organisational structures in the NHS including integrated care systems and primary care networks.The way in which NICE develops indicators has changed over recent years and we continue to look for innovative ways to maintain robust and rigorous processes whilst being responsive and flexible. The cycle of development needs to be flexible to react to emerging priorities identified as the challenges facing the health and social care system change. NICE is also changing how it delivers guidance moving towards living guidelines for learning health and care systems with indicators being fundamental to measurement of outcomes and enabling feedback to NICE which will help influence guidance updates. The appointed contractor will be expected to work with NICE to deliver this requirement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8f733546-f2d8-4e13-991c-a98bab68cf28 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | 25 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2022 - 30 Jun 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £930,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CARE EXCELLENCE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | E20 1QJ | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 19 Jan 2022 at 16:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8f733546-f2d8-4e13-991c-a98bab68cf28 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8f733546-f2d8-4e13-991c-a98bab68cf28 19th January 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/47ba4894-bd3a-4427-9bf4-a63425bb7c2b ## Notice URLs - https://www.nice.org.uk/Standards-and-Indicators/index ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
