Research to Assess the Impact of Hospice-Led Interventions on the Use of Acute Care Services and Outcomes for Patients

NHS England would like to commission a research project to assess the impact of hospice-led interventions. The project is specifically concerned with the ways in which different service models facilitate the timely transfer out of hospital for people approaching the end of life and prevent avoidable admissions. The results of the work should enable replication of successful interventions by disseminating evidence and guidance to commissioners, hospices and other providers. The research must be capable of differentiating those interventions that will be generally applicable in all areas and circumstances and those that are specific to individual localities and circumstances. Parties wishing to bid should register on NHS England's e-procurement portal which is available by copying the following into their web browser: https://nhsengland.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html All submissions must be made using this e-tendering solution and further information about this opportunity will be available on the e-procurement site once the opportunity is published w/c 28th November 2016.
