Description of the contract
In 2017 we undertook widespread stakeholder engagement; reviewed the evidence of the current and future state of health both in Wales and globally; and analysed the public health interventions that have the most impact on delivering sustainable improvement in health and well-being over the short, medium and long term.
As a result in June 2018, we published a radically new Long Term Strategy to 2030: Working to achieve a healthier future for Wales. This provides the basis of our medium and short term plans and is fully aligned to the national strategy for Wales – Prosperity for All (2017) – and also to the national strategy for health in Wales – A Healthier Wales (2018).
REQUIREMENT
PHW has recognised that delivering its long term strategy will need a transformational approach. We are working across a range of areas and in terms of IM&T, we are interested to understand the extent to which our current operating model is fit for purpose. This is important because of the pivotal importance of IM&T and digital services to our long term success
We are not looking for the commissioned work to deliver a new informatics strategy or a critique of the current technical infrastructure. Rather, we wish to assess our current way of working – both in the IM&T Division – but also how PHW as a whole is involved in the IM&T function.
25. We have identified several IM&T themes that we want to explore further:
• Commissioning and planning
• Delivery
• Workforce
• Leadership, culture and setting the direction for IM&T
• Stakeholder engagement
These are developed in more detail within the specification, though they are not exhaustive.
OUTPUTS
PHW is seeking comprehensive report on the effectiveness of the current operating model of the IM&T Division. Recommendations within the report should include the rationale for the proposal, its potential implications and impact, and also the associated risks. Where relevant, indicative costs / savings should be categorised as cash-releasing, cost-avoidance, efficiency/effectiveness gains, cost pressures and opportunity costs.
TIMETABLE
37. It work must be completed by 30 June 2019 and should take approximately 15 days in total.
