Description

Innovation in digital technologies, greater use of data and technology-enabled transformation are ways to support the NHS in addressing the pressures it is currently facing. Many innovative solutions are coming onto the market all the time, all in different states of market readiness. In recent years, through the creation of the Accelerated Access Collaborative, the AI funding awards and other initiatives, including most recently the intention to re-licence the HINs, the NHS has developed the infrastructure needed to enable the NHS to adopt innovation more widely. However, this is a complex landscape, and we currently need a means of tracking innovations as they move along the innovation pathway, from demand signalling and horizon scanning to ideation and development, approval, adoption and spread. This means the NHS has an incomplete view of the innovations available to support a particular need and is frequently unsighted on the timescales within which innovations are likely to come to market.

Aims
Innovation pipeline data, plus outcome and impact data, is currently collected using different tools, stored differently, and has various definitions across partner organisations. This means that understanding the pipeline is complicated and needs to be improved.
The Innovation, Research, Life Sciences and Transformation Strategy (IRLSS) group has ambitions to improve its horizon scanning, and market intelligence capability and to align different and disparate data sources better to enable data-driven decision-making. We aim to align these different datasets to create a combined view of selected data items. This new dataset would combine data from the Health Innovation Networks (HINs), the NHS Innovation Service, and other sources (including awards, such as the NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA)), to provide information about innovations moving along the innovation pathway and their impact. For obvious reasons, we are not necessarily looking to create a single comprehensive data source from the current disparate sources. Still, we need to align our datasets pragmatically to give a more coherent view of the market in a particular area that can be easily accessed. The resulting data will be used to support horizon scanning and market intelligence, to identify technologies that offer additional benefits, and to recognise where there are barriers to development and where there are issues with progress along the pipeline which could influence policy. This information will help the NHS understand, prioritise, and prepare for incoming innovations.

Advantage Schools - ICT Managed Service

Advantage Schools encompasses circa 6.540 pupils cross 10 sites. The Trust is a mix of Primary and Secondary settings and is the result of a merger in September 2024 of The Shared Learning Trust and Advantage Schools. The vision of the Trust is to provide all children with the highest quality of teaching of an excellent academic curriculum, which enables them to become highly educated and to be full and active participants of society. We do not make exceptions in our high aspirations. The merger of The Shared Learning Trust with Advantage Schools came about because the ten schools agree that: • Every child should benefit from a broad, ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum, taught by highly skilled teachers. • Every school must have a well-designed and well-sequenced curriculum, which ensures children build knowledge in a broad range of subjects before going on to specialise after the age of 16. • Every child must be taught this broad and ambitious curriculum in a school with high expectations and strong standards of behaviour. • All children can and will benefit disproportionately from being taught in this family of schools. The Trust is taking the opportunity to go to the market to identify the best innovative and forward-looking partner to support them in the delivery and development of their ICT provision over the next five years. The new service will be fully out-sourced and begin on the 27th July 2026 This procurement includes (but may not be limited to) the items listed below. • A core managed service, management of all ICT against an agreed SLA • 24 x 7 x 365 remote monitoring and management • A Service Desk, available 50 weeks a year including out of hours access • Local staffing which suppliers deem necessary to deliver the service and meet the SLA requirements - 50 weeks onsite in schools and the Head Office • Strategic advice and direction to the Trust regarding ICT • Responsibility for design, specification, installation, and management of all ICT infrastructure • Supply of goods and services based on an agreed Best Value approach • Management of 3rd parties where relevant to the ICT support • Relevant monitoring, management, patching • Regular performance reporting • CPD and training - digital skills and curriculum as necessary • There is an expectation that the provider will support and/or drive innovation • Maintain technical documentation • Maintain operational documentation, for example inventory management and risk registers • Collective partnership targets aligned to the Trust objectives • Suppliers may be required to deliver a range of technology and change management projects in addition to the providing the core managed service.

Oracle HCM Co-Managed Service

The Higher Education sector is experiencing significant transformation - from evolving student expectations and regulatory oversight to demographic and workforce shifts. At the University of Salford, we are embracing this change as an opportunity to do things differently and ensure we remain sustainable and future-focused. As a HR team, we've already made strong progress in transforming how we work, particularly through the implementation of Oracle HCM. However, our journey is far from complete. We're now focused on realising the full potential of our technology - developing solutions that enhance the colleague experience, enable better decision-making, and creating a genuine step change in our culture and ways of working. This shift in culture is fundamental to the long-term success of our University. We have a committed and passionate team who believe in the University's mission and in the value of partnership. We're looking to work with a provider who shares our vision, collaborates openly, and helps us drive continuous improvement and innovation in how we support our people. Current Situation and Intent Our Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM platform was launched in April 2025 and is currently supported by an incumbent service provider under a short-term agreement which terminates in April 2026.
