## Summary

NSS Health Facilities Scotland is initiating the "Frameworks Scotland Healthcare Planning Framework" to procure professional healthcare planning services. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage and aims to support healthcare services across Scotland. The framework is set to have two distinct lots: Lot 1 for strategic healthcare planning and Lot 2 for project-specific planning, with an estimated value of £2,000,000. Interested parties should note that the deadline for expressing interest is expected by 6th July 2018, with the framework intended for use by NHS Scotland Health Boards and other health and social care providers within Scotland.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare consulting, strategic planning, and project management to engage in significant contracts that could expand their service offerings within the Scottish healthcare sector. Companies that are versatile in providing both long-term strategic support and specific project-focused advice will find this framework particularly suitable. Interested firms are encouraged to consider their capabilities in meeting the selection criteria outlined in the tender, as entry into the lots could attract a broader range of bidders and enhance their market presence.

## Notice

The Framework will enable organisations to access professional Healthcare Planning advice and support, and to supplement in-house resources where these are available. The consultant Healthcare Planner provides an important role in facilitating change management in services, supporting development of service strategies at national, regional and local levels, and providing clinical / evidence based input into asset development. It is proposed that the Framework has two Lots, offering strategic / whole system healthcare planning, alongside more project specific support that has been more routinely sought and provided. This takes account of systemic changes (e.g. regional service planning), demographic shift and other drivers. It is intended that NHS Scotland Health Boards, Special Health Boards, Integrated Joint Boards (IJBs) and other organisations providing health and social care services operating in Scotland will be Framework Customers entitled to call off the Framework.

### Lot Information

Strategic / Whole System Healthcare Planning

Lot 1: Strategic / Whole System Healthcare Planning The Framework will enable organisations to access professional Healthcare Planning advice and support, and to supplement in-house resources where these are available. The consultant Healthcare Planner provides an important role in facilitating change management in services, supporting development of service strategies at national, regional and local levels, and providing clinical / evidence based input into asset development. A procurement approach being considered is that the Framework has two distinct lots, with Lot 1 offers strategic / whole system healthcare planning. This takes account of systemic changes (e.g. regional service planning), demographic shift and other drivers. (Organisations able to support a strategic approach may differ from those primarily focused on supporting project development). There may be some overlap between the lots; participation is unrestricted, where selection criteria for each is met. A Lot structure may attract potential new bidders together with previous / existing bidders. Widening consultant bidder range for framework entry is considered beneficial to NHSScotland. Prospective bidders are invited to respond to questions contained under 'Additional Information' below and comment on Scope and potential allocation of duties between lots contained in the PDF attachment. It is intended that NHS Scotland Health Boards, Special Health Boards, Integrated Joint Boards (IJBs) and other organisations providing health and social care services operating in Scotland will be Framework Customers entitled to call off the Framework..
