National Framework Agreement for the provision of Job Planning Consultancy and Implementation Services

The objective of this framework is to provide NHS Organisations with expert assistance to deliver optimised job planning systems and processes. The expected outcomes of the Services will be:

• An in-depth analysis of the current state of an NHS Organisation's job planning systems and processes.
• Detailed analysis of actual and forecast demand in respect of required clinical outcomes.
• The creation of model job plans based on actual and forecast demand in respect of required clinical outcomes that are aligned with applicable NHS, Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and British Medical Association (BMA) best practice standards.
• Identification of gaps and/or variances between the current and model state, including but not limited to identification of variance(s) between current job plans and patient demand.
• The development of optimised systems and processes for medical job planning.
• Support, to the level specified in a Call Off Contract, to implement new optimised job planning systems and processes.
• Effective knowledge transfer to enable the NHS Organisation to sustain and build on the implemented improvements.
