Procurement of Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) service for NHS South Kent Coast CCG (as Lead Commissioner) on behalf of eight NHS CCGs in Kent and Medway. The IIA will inform the decisions of Kent and Medway CCGs ahead of them taking a decision on whether to proceed to public consultation on a number of significant service changes for the Kent and Medway (KM) Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP). ### Background The KM STP covers a population of circa 1.8m, with a health spend of approximately £2.9 billion (which increases to £3.4 billion when social care is included). Kent and Medway is a complex footprint with a significant number of organisations working within in it (as well as home to a diverse population). Our STP has identified the key drivers for change and outlined the transformation we wish to bring about against four themes: • Care transformation • Productivity • Enablers • System leadership The proposed transformation is structured into a programme with proposed changes being delivered in waves to achieve overall improvement with regard to benefits and risks. The programme's critical path requires consultation on wave 1 to take place in the autumn 2017. Work to develop the strategic enablers (for example, estates, workforce and digital) is also progressing against this timeline. As part of the STP and in order to meet the CCGs' statutory duties, there is a need to undertake a full integrated impact assessment (IIA) of the emerging recommendations. This will help commissioners make decisions throughout the option development process and support formal recommendations which will then go to formal public consultation. These recommendations will encompass the commissioning responsibility of NHS England with regard to primary care and certain specialist services. The Commissioner is now seeking to have that IIA delivered by a provider with proven experience and capability who can mobilise rapidly and deliver within the tight timescale for the programme. ### Requirements The IIA service must deliver the pre-consultation IIA report identifying potential positive and negative health impacts, the impact particularly on groups vulnerable to service changes (with a focus on those covered by equality legislation), and detailed travel and access impacts for the whole population as well as for vulnerable groups. The report must be delivered by 7 July 2017. The requirements are described in the specification published with this notice. ### Commercial This is a short-term contract for delivery of this service only. The total price of the service (excluding VAT) must not exceed £100,000. The contract will be the standard NHS contract for non-healthcare services. The procurement process for the service is described in the Invitation To Quote (ITQ) published with this notice. ### Further The opportunity is further described in the Invitation to Quote and the Service Specification attached to this notice. Additional information: This procurement does not fall within the specific requirements of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Patient Choice and Competition Regulations 2013. The Commissioner is supported in this project by NHS North and East London CSU (NEL CSU) and its procurement partner NHS Commercial Solutions (NHSCS), which is managing this procurement.
