NHS Parliament Awards Market Engagement

Description

The NHS Parliamentary Awards is an awards programme run by NHS England designed to help health and care organisations to engage with their local MPs, celebrate the work they do, and build or strengthen ongoing relationships. This programme has run successfully for the last five years with the support of an external partner who have delivered logistical, technical and commercial expertise that we are unable to provide in house. The objectives of the NHS Parliamentary Awards are to: • Encourage MPs to identify and highlight examples of system working and integration across the health and care landscape • Improve NHS and Healthcare staff morale by recognising and celebrating their achievement publicly, with best practice being shared as appropriate • Inform MPs about the positive progress we are making across the country in delivering the NHS Long Term Plan priority areas • Enlist the local media reach of MPs in communicating the aims of the NHS Long Term plan to a wider audience. We would like to run this programme again in 2023 and 2024 as we received overwhelming support and great feedback from stakeholders, MPs, NHS organisations and senior NHS England executives as well as from the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. It is worth noting that the 2023 edition of the awards will be part of how the NHS marks its 75th birthday. NHS England is accountable, through its Board, to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care for delivery of the annual mandate. The mandate sets the strategic direction for NHS England and helps ensure the NHS is accountable to Parliament and the public. Sponsorship It is an essential requirement that this programme must be delivered on a cost neutral basis for NHS England. Therefore, the events partner should have access to a sales team with the necessary skills and experience and an understanding of the health and care landscape to successfully pitch and secure appropriate sponsorship for 10 different award categories and a main sponsor. The Parliamentary Awards requires the support of an events team that are used to working in Parliament and with Parliamentarians to identify and book an appropriate venue for the launch and ceremony in or near the Palace of Westminster. The event partner will be required to produce a clear service level agreement and contract that set out the expectations and deliverables associated with the sponsorship that are agreed with NHS England prior to being agreed Further Details on this opportunity can be found in the attached document "NHSE Parliament Awards 202324 Requirements" Interested suppliers should register on the NHS England e-procurement system here: https://health-family.force.com/login • Once logged in click 'Find Opportunities' and search for "C97704 NHSE Parliament Awards" • Click 'Register Interest' • Once you have registered your interest you will be able to view the Requirements.
