DHDO Market Engagement Announcement

What is the DHDO Programme?

A major strategic review of the service has recently been undertaken - the Defence Healthcare Delivery Optimisation (DHDO) study - and the service is embarking on an exciting programme of transformation, the DHDO programme. This will involve introducing a standard UK-wide, MOD owned operating model, digitising aspects of healthcare delivery, introducing modern workforce management techniques and working at scale. A pilot of the new model, potential techniques and digital tools will take place between Apr 19 and Apr 20. How can you help the DHDO Programme?

In considering implementation options, the MOD is looking to explore relevant capability in the Independent Healthcare Sector (IHS) in the UK to support new, improved ways of delivering and managing Primary Healthcare services (PHC). The DHDO programme would like to hear from providers within the market place to understand more about the proven services that are out there, including new innovations, and how these services could support MOD in future delivery of a modernised, standardised, effective and efficient UK wide PHC service. You are cordially invited to complete and submit the associated DHDO questionnaire (as per the attachment to this notice) to tell us more about what services you deliver and where they may add benefit to the MOD. Subsequently, you may be invited to take part in follow-up market engagement activities where further exploratory conversations will take place.
