II.1.4) Short description
One of the key priorities for NHS England, as set out in the Business Plan is to provide ‘timely access to high quality elective care’. In order to deliver on this Business Plan priority, the elective care work Programme was launched in 2015. The aim of the work is to develop and test interventions that can be rapidly implemented to better manage demand in elective care. The work has taken the approach of working collaboratively with local health economies and empowering front line teams to develop and test the interventions. Wave 1 of the development collaborative is currently underway. We are therefore seeking to procure support from a service provider with experience of rapid testing interventions, has expertise in evaluating interventions designed and implemented using this specific approach.
