The role of a national clinical audit is to stimulate healthcare improvement through the provision of high quality information on the organisation, delivery and outcomes of healthcare, together with tools and support to enable healthcare providers and other audiences to make best use of this information. Outcomes are benchmarked against national guidance and standards e.g. quality standards from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), and those from other established professional and patient sources. Successful national audits are those where the individuals providing the data are also in a position to improve the system, and there is a shared understanding of what good care looks like. The overarching aim is to stimulate improvements in care for children and young people (CYP) with paediatric diabetes who receive care from Paediatric Diabetes Units (PDUs), by measuring variations in quality, experience and outcomes of NHS care in England and Wales, and publicly funded care in Jersey. During this contract period, the successful tenderer will need to build on the achievements of the audit to date and enhance the ability for the audit to be used for healthcare improvement. *The term CYP (Children and Young People) will be used throughout this notice to refer to children, adolescents and young people up to 24 years (treated within a Paediatric Diabetes Unit (PDU)). This audit programme is expected to: •Develop a robust, high-quality audit designed around 10 key quality metrics likely to best support local and national healthcare quality improvement •Detect, describe and help reduce unwarranted clinical variation by systematically benchmarking performance, identifying outliers, and supporting services to understand variation in outcomes, processes and experience •Achieve, articulate and maintain close alignment with relevant NICE national guidance and quality standards throughout the audit, as appropriate •Enable healthcare quality improvement through the provision of timely, high-quality data that compares providers of healthcare, and comprises an integrated mixture of named Trust or Health board, Integrated Care System (ICS), commissioner, multidisciplinary team (MDT), possibly consultant or clinical team level and other levels of reporting •Be clinically led •Engage patients, carers and the public in a meaningful way, achieving a strong patient voice which informs and contributes to the design, functioning, outputs and direction of the audit •Consider the value and feasibility of linking data at an individual patient level to other relevant national datasets either from the outset or in the future, and plan for these linkages from the inception of the contract •Ensure robust methodological and statistical input at all stages of the audit •Identify from the outset the full range of audiences for the reports and other audit outputs, and plan and tailor them accordingly •Provide audit results in a timely, accessible and meaningful manner to support healthcare quality improvement, minimising the reporting delay and providing continual access to each unit for their own data •Utilise strong and effective project and programme management to deliver audit outputs on time and within budget •Develop and maintain strong engagement with local clinicians, networks, commissioners, patients, their families and carers as well as charity and community support groups to drive improvements in services. The anticipated outputs are: •Quarterly interactive metric results •Publication of an annual state of the nation report •Quality improvement resources •The identification and notification of outliers in line with HQIP and provider policies.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) invites suitably qualified suppliers to participate in a tender exercise for the provision of surge laboratory diagnostic testing capacity to support national responses to future public health emergencies. UKHSA aims to maintain a scalable ‘surge model’ that supplements its internal laboratory network with externally contracted PCR testing capability. This model ensures that, in the event of a significant public health threat, the UK can rapidly increase testing volumes to support diagnosis, surveillance, outbreak management and wider public health interventions. Under this procurement, the Supplier will be required to provide Clinical Laboratory Diagnostic Testing Services as part of a Public Health Critical service. The contract will operate under two defined readiness states: Cold State – the Supplier maintains operational readiness and must be capable of ramping up to Hot State within ten (10) weeks, as set out in Schedule 10 (Health Incident Response Plan). In this state, the Supplier is not required to provide the Guaranteed Daily Capacity. Hot State – the Supplier is fully operational and capable of delivering the Guaranteed Daily Capacity in response to an emergency activation by the Authority. The Supplier will operate in Cold State for the duration of the Contract unless formally instructed by UKHSA to transition to Hot State. Upon issue of a Notice to change readiness state, the Supplier must immediately implement its approved Health Incident Response Plan. There is no minimum test volume under this Contract. Allocation of test kits and samples will be at the sole discretion of UKHSA. Suppliers must demonstrate the capability to provide a Guaranteed Daily Capacity of at least 100,000 PCR tests per 24-hour period for the Target Pathogen when in Hot State. UKHSA is seeking robust, sustainable and scalable solutions that enable rapid operational mobilisation, particularly for the delivery of high volume PCR testing for Pathogen X. Suppliers should note that the indicative contract value refers to Cold State readiness only; the operational value during Hot State activation is expected to be substantially higher. The maximum estimated value by the Authority for the Cold State value £3m per annum with an expectation that costs should be £2m per annum or less.

The UKHSA Diagnostics and Research Open Framework is the successor to the current UKHSA National Microbiology Framework, and predecessor PHE Public Health Microbiology Framework and will be used to support the UK Health Security Agency’s Diagnostics and Research activities for both day to day and incident response. (Please note that it is the potential surge capacity that accounts for the high maximum value of this framework, not anticipated spend) The framework is divided into two lots: Lot One: Diagnostics Goods and Services (products that are UKCA/CE marked or otherwise validated to the required specification), and Lot Two: Research and development (research products that are not UKCA/CE marked) The maximum value (ex VAT) of the framework is set at £6.25 billion The value of Lot 1 is estimated as £5.2b and the value of Lot 2 is estimated as £1.05b. The actual values will vary based on the level of purchasing necessary to provide suitable solutions to the UK’s health protection needs. The maximum value is based on the potential total amount payable exclusive of VAT as estimated by UKHSA, including any potential extension options for call-off contracts. This figure allows for the possibility that a health emergency may occur, such as a pandemic; therefore, the total value of cumulative call-off contracts may be less depending on the potential materialisation of health threats. The value and explanation of how it has been estimated is given in good faith as a guide. It should not be interpreted as an undertaking to purchase any goods or services to any value and does not form part of the Contract.

The UK Armed Forces are more frequently operating in cold environments to contribute to NATO’s deterrence in the High North and on the Eastern flank; but data suggest that the number of cases of peripheral cold injuries is increasing in deployed Service Personnel (SP), even during short deployments. Given our growing presence in the Nordic-Baltic regions, Defence urgently needs to identify and protect SP susceptible to cold injuries and improve the clinical assessment of injured SP for their safe and timely return to cold environments. This work will aim to reduce the risk of peripheral cold injuries by developing a prediction tool to identify susceptible SP; and improve deployability by developing a clinical assessment tool to enable clinicians to assess injured SP safely and efficiently, year-round. This laboratory-based research will largely take place at the climate chamber in North Yorkshire.
