Workforce planning in a neighbourhood or place

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

A contractor is being commissioned to work with PCH to provide targeted support to councils, neighbourhoods or places to develop impactful strategic workforce plans that will drive improvement locally and support the delivery of the governments three shifts.

The Governments 10 year Health Plan aims to deliver three shifts – hospital to community, analogue to digital and sickness to prevention - that will ensure that health and social care are fit for the future.

A well-resourced and supported workforce will be central to government delivering these shifts.

Planning for a workforce to deliver these shifts in a neighbourhood or place requires different skills to traditional workforce planning and not all councils yet have the skills or confidence to do this.

Requests for support from PCH for strategic workforce planning have increased since 2023, including requests for support at regional as well as placed based level.

DHSC require PCH to prioritise support to those councils being assessed as ‘inadequate’ or ‘requires improvement’ in the CQC assessment process.

Many of these councils identify workforce planning as an area for improvement under the ‘providing support’ theme.
