II.1.4) Short description of the contract or purchase(s): Launched in
June 2007 under www.nhs.uk, this high profile programme is now firmly at
the centre of provision of clinical, evidence based information and online
services to the public. It draws together, in one place, information from
across DH and NHS, including access to content and data from National
Library for Health, NHS Direct, Information Centre, Healthcare Commission
and the previous nhs.uk service. Much of this data was previously only
available to clinicians and distributed through multiple channels and
organisations.
As a high profile programme providing a wide-range of health content and
services, the governance of NHS Choices is to be retained by DH. The DH
now requires a professional, innovative, private sector supplier to manage
and operate it.
The service offers a wide range of accredited health information and
services, from ‘Live Well’ magazine content aimed at specific audiences,
through comprehensive Health A-Z for conditions and treatments information
and health services directories, scorecards and user feedback.
The supplier will be responsible for expanding and operating the existing
NHS Choices web service and, as the service evolves, investigation, and
where needed development and operation of other electronic channels
including mobile, kiosk and iDTV.
The supplier will be responsible for the majority of the business
functions of the service including input into strategic direction,
customer and market management, relations management with users and
professionals, programme and technical development management and delivery
and operations, including editorial and data content provision and
publishing, live technical services operation and insight and feedback.
