Project Based Consultancy for System Transformation
Health Dynamics is on NHS SCW CSU's Project Based Consultancy (System Transformation) Dynamic Purchasing System. That gives NHS clients a straightforward, compliant procurement route for major transformation programmes, delivered by Health Dynamics as part of blended teams alongside SCW's own staff and associates.
Why we partner with NHS SCW CSU
For larger NHS transformation programmes - system-level operating models, integration programmes, major service change - NHS clients often prefer to procure through a framework hosted by an NHS-owned commissioning support unit. It gives them procurement compliance, familiar contracting terms, and a direct route to blended-team delivery.
NHS SCW CSU is one of the UK's largest NHS-owned CSUs. Their Project Based Consultancy (System Transformation) Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is the procurement vehicle their client organisations use to commission specialist transformation consultancy.
Health Dynamics has been through the SCW procurement process and sits on that DPS. That means clients can commission us directly through SCW when the DPS is their preferred route - with SCW providing the framework, and Health Dynamics providing the consultancy.
How a joint engagement works
Client commissions via the DPS. The client uses SCW's Project Based Consultancy (System Transformation) DPS to procure transformation consultancy. Health Dynamics is one of the suppliers available on the framework.
Blended team delivery. Depending on the brief, the engagement may be delivered by Health Dynamics alone, or as a blended team combining Health Dynamics with SCW's own transformation staff and associates.
Single accountable relationship. Whatever the shape of the team, the consultancy accountability sits with Health Dynamics under the standard framework contract.
