Notice summaryFrom the published notice

In January 2023 190 members of the North Wales Community Dental Service came together at a Deep Dive event to review current service provision and definition alongside workforce challenges to highlight areas where transformation and change is required to align the service with the direction of WHC (2022) 022. As a result a plan of around 200 items was identified. We are now looking for support to add additional capacity in the team to deliver projects under these workstreams.

What is being bought

Published requirement description

In January 2023 190 members of the North Wales Community Dental Service came together at a Deep Dive event to review current service provision and definition alongside workforce challenges to highlight areas where transformation and change is required to align the service with the direction of WHC (2022) 022.

As a result a plan of around 200 items was identified. Each of these could be classified into one of 7 workstreams Service Definition, IT, Estates and Equipment, Service Delivery and Management, Communication, Education and Training.

A programme of work has been identified with a 6 month and 2-year delivery plan being worked up. Programme commenced in April 23.

We are now looking for support to add additional capacity in the team to deliver projects under these workstreams. Key areas include service definition, standardisation, processes and procedures for referral and discharge of patients.

We will require support for tabletop data analysis, variation analysis, standardisation, discovery, workshops, process mapping, improvement discussion, agreement and implementation of new ways of working.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
