Cost reductions
Lot 1: Sustainable Services Modelling, Design and Improvement
With increasing financial pressure on health systems, Lot 1 can support organisations with a creative look at where costs can be reduced.
By supporting ICBs and trusts to review organisational roles and functions to remove duplication, as well as review all non-pay costs, suppliers on this awarded to this lot can help not only reduce costs in the short term to meet targets, but can also help develop sustainable service change that will continue to deliver savings in the long term.
Cost improvement plans (CIPs)
Lot 4: Commercial, Financial and Analytical Related Advisory Services
Delivering against CIPs can be a challenge. Suppliers in Lot 4 are experienced in supporting development and delivery of these.
By reviewing areas like leadership capacity, contracts, procurement strategies and considering the possibility of streamlining tasks, services on this lot can deliver both efficiency savings and cost improvement and avoidance.
Organisational development support
Lot 2: Strategy, System Leadership, Governance and Integrated Assurance
With the increasing need for collaboration across wider systems and the drive towards place-based care, organisations need to work more closely together than ever.
This comes with its own challenges when navigating different organisational policies and procedures and navigating relationships in difficult environments. Having a neutral party lead on these areas can be particularly beneficial.
Lot 2 has a range of suppliers that can help manage this by delivering key workstreams and structures designed around the needs of the collective.
Community and staff engagement
Lot 7: Communication and Engagement Delivery
Lot 7 can be used to facilitate community engagement that can be difficult at times. Areas these services can support include planning and development of estates, service consultations and communications regarding policy review.
For typically harder to reach stakeholders, this lot facilitates providers in seeking support from well-established suppliers with extensive knowledge and experience. It can also be used to support Communications teams and senior leaders in navigating staff communications through this difficult and emotive time of change across the NHS.
Skills gap analysis and role mapping
Lot 3: Training, Quality Assurance and Consultation Services
This type of programme is useful when assessing areas in organisations where changes or savings measures are being considered. A thorough skills gap analysis can enable trusts to identify what the true impact of any reorganisation may be and allow mitigations to be put in place to prevent any significant impact to care.
By utilising the specialist services available under this lot, your organisation will be able to identify areas where these skills already lie within your existing workforce and how you can maximise their potential. Mapping our role progression allows you to clearly indicate how these staff members can grow and thrive within your organisation with clearly defined career options available.
