T-HSIB-1122-04

In April 2023 HSIB will become an independent non-departmental arm's length body entitled the Health Service Safety Investigation Body's (HSSIB).

We wish to commission the development of a framework(s) to optimise the proposed Health Service Safety Investigation Body's (HSSIB) operating model, to enable the organisation to maximise its impact in helping the NHS and wider industry to learn from independent investigations and published safety recommendations.

It is important that the development of the framework(s) delivers a blueprint for HSSIB to be more effective, efficient, proactive and responsive as an organisation. We must demonstrate that our organisation is providing value for money and effective safety recommendations to mitigate repeat harm for patients treated and cared for by the NHS in England.

The areas we require support are as follows:

• Develop a risk identification framework to enable HSSIB to identify patient safety topics, or themes, across multiple care settings to prioritise the focus of our independent investigations • Develop an evaluation framework to measure and demonstrate our impact to improve the safety of care across health services

Given the scope of, and the pace required for the programme, we welcome proposals from those Suppliers who have both a proven immediate capability and capacity of successfully delivering similar projects within the public sector.

The deadline for receipt of Suppliers' proposals is 12pm Friday 23 December 2022.
