- How the planning service works

Planning is a key part of our service. We work with customers to assess their needs, develop the best options, which is not always full Cloud straight away, and to plan the project from start to finish, ensuring that they and their staff are involved at all stages.
We support customers in the implementation of change management and monitoring to ensure the systems are achieving their stated aims and objectives and to improve performance. We also help by undertaking full evaluations of new services or schemes. - Planning service works with specific services

Fighting climate change
We encourage and facilitate joint collaboration, particularly where common needs exist to create improved health outcomes. E.g., in our commissioning roles for Jersey and Gibraltar, we commission on each island behalf with centres of excellence such as Guys & St Thomas’s based upon common patient accommodation and service delivery needs. We hosted and held regular inter-island health conferences, creating joint collaboration and improved health outcomes for each community. Attendees were able to learn and share best practice, build closer relationships, develop new contacts and skills, benchmark resources and work collaboratively together.
Under this procurement we commit to sharing wider social value information through
• sharing of best practice,
• arranging site visits,
• hosting conferences, workshops, and roadshows, and
• international comparisons to explore alternative innovative ways of working. E.g., we supported Pan-Merseyside Health & Care organisations to transition a diverse range of community services, involving several CCG’s, local authorities, primary care networks, Trust providers, not-for-profit organisations, and other professional advisors.
Climate change: Our ISO14001 Environmental Management, ISO9001 Quality Management, Cyber Essentials Plus), NHS Toolkit compliant and Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) evidence our organisational commitment to social responsibility. We commit to
• Annual 15% target reduction in carbon reduction, sustainable waste management, and energy efficiency for 40% of our future framework contracts in year 1 (rising to 60% by term end).
• Sharing wider sustainability information by personal introductions to best practice, connections and holding workshops to disseminate knowledge and develop ideas.Tackling economic inequality

Tackling inequality: We comply with the “Good Work Plan” guidance, regularly supporting staff with training days (including social value), encouraging clients to join this and other best practice codes (Prompt Payment Code, the Armed Forces Covenant). We promote Apprenticeships and University Internships and through our extensive network, we signpost clients to local charitable organisations who are delivering programmes to further address skills needs (communities/employers).
