In plain English

NHS England wants a supplier to look after the National Competency Framework for Data and Analytics Professionals, a nationally used set of skills, knowledge and behaviour standards for data roles across health and care. The work is interim day-to-day support (updates, user queries, promotion and admin) while NHS England decides how the framework should be run in future.

What the buyer wants

• Keep the framework current and accessible, including updates, user queries and feedback, and governance administration • Support existing and new adopters across NHS organisations and the wider health and care sector, including communications, engagement and reporting • Help promote adoption of the framework so it continues to support data and digital workforce development, career progression and professional standards

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Without prior experience of health and care workforce frameworks or DDaT professional standards, and evidence of working with NHS organisations, most small businesses would struggle to show the credibility this contract needs.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
