The tools created will enable decision makers at different levels across the health and care system to understand the current performance, their target operating model - and performance requirements, together with the evidence base on best practice.

The Framework term will be 36 months, with a total framework value of £15.855m over the 36 months. A maximum of 3 bidders will be awarded a place on the framework.

This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of AGEM.
