What the buyer says
NHS England is seeking a supplier to provide ongoing maintenance, administration and operational support for the National Competency Framework (NCF) for Data and Analytics Professionals. The NCF is a nationally adopted framework that defines the knowledge, skills and behaviours required across the health and care system and supports workforce capability development, career progression, professional standards and associated workforce products. The appointed supplier will provide day-to-day support to ensure the framework remains current, accessible and effective for existing and prospective users. Activities are expected to include framework maintenance and updates, stakeholder engagement, adopter support, communications, reporting, governance administration and the management of queries and feedback from users. The supplier will also support the promotion and adoption of the framework across NHS organisations and the wider health and care sector. This requirement will provide interim support while NHS England considers the future operating model for the framework, helping to safeguard the continued use, relevance and value of this national workforce asset. Through the delivery of this service, the supplier will support NHS England's wider ambition to build a sustainable, capable and recognised Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) workforce and enable the continued development of workforce capability across the health and care system.
