The purpose of this PIN is to inform market operators of a potential future exercise to procure a Digital Stakeholder Management System to support the North East and North Cumbria Secure Data Environment (NENC SDE). NENC SDE is one of 11 regional programmes that is part of an NHS England national programme which aims to improve access to health and care data for research and development purposes.

The purpose of this PIN is to inform market operators of a potential future exercise to procure services supporting the development of a Citizens Jury. HI NENC wishes to engage a third-party organisation with a proven experience in delivering deliberative engagement, to support the organisation through a citizens jury process, with the aim of influencing policy making with regard to opioid prescriptions and pain management. Citizens' juries are a form of deliberative consultation that involves randomly selected citizens, often representing a diverse cross-section of society, coming together to discuss and deliberate on complex societal issues. Citizens' juries aim to provide a more inclusive and informed decision-making process by way of channelling input from informed public opinion. During the jury process participants have the opportunity to learn about the issue at hand, engage in thoughtful discussions, and consider the range of various stakeholder viewpoints. Ultimately, citizens' juries seek to produce well-informed and balanced recommendations or decisions that can influence policy-making, contributing to a more democratic and participatory system of integrated health and social care. HI NENC would like to invite potential providers of Citizen Jury services to apply to our Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) DN670401 as a supplier.

The purpose of this PIN is to inform market operators of a potential future exercise to procure services supporting the evaluation of the National Child Parent Screening Service for Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH). Funding was received by Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria in April 2021 to implement and lead on the national Child Parent Screening Programme. This was in order to support the ambition set out in the NHS Long Term Plan to improve the identification of FH to 25% by 2025. FH, an autosomal dominant inherited disorder, is a common cause of ischaemic cardiovascular disease in young adult life. There are about 200,000 undiagnosed people with FH in the UK. Identifying affected individuals before the onset of disease is important so diet and lifestyle modifications can be made and medication initiated as appropriate. As each affected child will have one affected parent, testing children provides a means of identifying and treating both child and parent together in a systematic manner. The child parent screening service will run until the end of October 2024. There are currently 70 surgeries signed up to participate although not all are screening. To date (June 2024) there have been 1400 children screened and one diagnosed with genetic FH. Surgeries are spread across seven of the Health Innovation catchment areas.
