The intention is not to create mandatory policy or standards. The supplier must produce a report for the Future Connectivity programme that provides evidence-based recommendations on which connectivity solutions provide the best connectivity for remote health care workers. The target audience of the report is Integrated Care System (ICS) or NHS Trust Chief Information Officers (CIO) and their Network Managers & Service Managers, as they will be responsible for defining, supporting, and delivering ICS IT strategies across the NHS Trusts and ICS Partner organisations. The target audience also includes any other NHS roles responsible for: • Connectivity technology selection decision making; • Business case definition for connectivity investment; • Budget allocation; • Service commissioning. We are primarily interested in solutions that can improve connectivity available in poor coverage and indoor settings, and which devices can support these, so that remote health care workers can access and update records and data in support of their work to deliver efficient and appropriate care to patients and service users. The report must provide tested, evidenced, and comparative outputs to investigate if there is a best available solution, or combination of solutions, for different coverage scenarios. These outputs should support a reader to understand how each performs against the others in different coverage scenarios and determine if there are discernibly better connectivity option for their needs than others.
