Published requirement descriptionLot 1 - The NJR Annual Report
The NJR Annual Report is a formal NHS England report that presents a statistical analysis of the performance of procedures collected over the preceding 12 months alongside analysis of data over the life of the registry to enable understanding of long-term performance. The report has been produced annually for the past 22 years.
As the report is a statistical presentation of the analyses of data, it consists mainly of tables and graphical figures, illustrating outcome performance, with accompanying explanatory text.
We are asking bidders of design and layout services that have the capability to prepare a report of this complexity to tender to deliver the services, for the next three years, with the aspirational potential to extend the contract for a further two years.
There are also some other associated documents - separate report appendices and hospital reports - as well as a Welsh translation of key report parts; for these we would discuss annually with the supplier what is included in the work.
