Expressions of Interest for Partners for the ACS and STP Development Partner Framework

NHS Arden & GEM Commissioning Support Unit is looking for a co-venture partner or partners who can join forces and combine strengths to build an effective multi response to NHS England's ACS and STP Development Partner Framework.

We have secured over £100m of new business over the last couple of years (including recently in Norfolk & Waveney CSU Support - Corporate IT and GP IT services in Essex - Global Digital Exemplar NHS England Clinical Registry and our Mental Health work - Coming Home) and continue to build strong relationships throughout the system at all levels - ACS leaders, CCG and NHS Trust leadership.

In responding to the opportunities that will be presented by the new framework we are wanting to get into a serious dialogue with a partner or partners who we can work closely together with over the coming months and years, to pool experience and expertise to create a compelling Population Health Management offer to the wider health and social system.

AGCSU are seeking expressions of interest from suppliers to potentially 'Co-Bid' or form some other close working relationship with as part of our response to the ACS and STP Development Partner Framework.

We are particularly looking for partners who we can work with across the following lots: • 1 - Digitising care & operation services (inc.

EPR) - however, not due for NHS England framework tender until mid-2018 • 2a - Local health and care records (strategy/implementation support • 2b - Local health and care records (Infrastructure) • 5 - Informatics analytics and digital tools to support system planning and evaluation • 6 - Transformation and change support • 7 - Patient empowerment & activation • 8 - Demand management & capacity planning • 9 - System assurance support We do not underestimate the opportunity that the framework (and call-offs) will bring to work with local health economies to bring advanced capabilities to make faster improvements in the quality of care and the health.

This will help the well-being of their population and help drive the required cultural shift across clinicians and managers to use data in more meaningful ways .

As a Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) we have good experience and a depth of knowledge in a number of areas but recognise that we are not a market leader in some of the advanced capabilities.

Our business offer has some well-refined, implemented and working solutions, backed up by years of experience working with and supporting local clinicians and managers to reform the system.

We have developed specialist knowledge in some of the more complex aspects of data management and sharing, including IG compliance.

We are also increasingly branching out into more progressive capabilities as we work with partners to digitally transform our existing customer base, for example through command centres, predictive analytics and technologies to empower and connect to patients.
