The primary objective of this procurement is to obtain specialist genomics editorial expertise to plan and produce a series of well-written and edited articles on genomics in healthcare that are useful and relevant to our audience groups, to be featured on our website's blog. ### Current process in place Broadly speaking, the GEP blog contains two types of articles:  GEP and partner/stakeholder news and events updates, written by the GEP team; and  educational articles, to which this procurement relates. The educational articles are intended for a range of health professionals, from those with no or limited understanding of genomics but keen to learn more, to those who work in a specialist genomics role but are interested in reading about new developments and trends in the context of the NHS. As a result, while the aim of these articles is to be written in an accessible way for non-experts in genomics, we do sometimes cover quite complex topics, eg genome editing. We also feature more technical pieces, written by guest expert authors. ### Expected requirements The expectation is that the chosen provider will offer HEE GEP the benefits of specialist genomics editorial expertise including but not limited to these key areas: • Provision of articles: The provider will submit a high-quality article to the GEP on a weekly basis\* that fulfils the service requirements. Typically, the article will be emailed to the GEP by close of business on a Thursday, for publication on the GEP blog the following Monday. The provider will supply: o approximately 3 articles per month of 500+ words each written by the provider, covering a range of topics and article types (see 'Topic planning' below); and o 1 expert article per month of 800+ words, written by an external author, typically a senior health professional working in genomics (authors to be confirmed in advance by the GEP). - One article per week will be provided, with the exception of a 2-week break over Christmas. So, for example, if the contract begins on 1st September 2018, there would be 28 articles delivered in the 8 months to 31st March 2019, comprising 21 provider articles and 7 expert articles. In any month where an expert author is unable to provide an article and no replacement expert author can be found in time, the provider will write a replacement article of 500+ words, and the expert author's fee will be allocated to the provider. • Editorial management: The provider will manage the editorial process to a high-quality standard, from developing the brief through to researching, writing and editing each article. As well as writing articles in-house, the provider will act as a commissioning editor for the external expert authors (typically individuals working in the NHS that have been identified by the GEP as being a suitable contributor). As such, the provider will establish proposed ar Read full description ## CPV classification Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/0bdfb62b-e370-4fd8-af78-abddde82b7ed) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
