Section six. Complementary information

six.3) Additional information

The VRU is commissioning a Learning Partner for our Hospital-Based Youth Work Programme in London, through which the VRU funds In-Hospital Youth Work services at all four London MTCs and eight local hospital Accident and Emergency Departments (A&Es) across London. The Hospital-Based Youth Work Programme is a high value, high profile part of the VRU's work and the VRU wishes to contribute to the evidence base around hospital-based youth work in the UK whilst also delivering the best service possible for our young people. As such, the VRU is commissioning both an Evaluation Partner, to conduct a robust impact evaluation of our Hospital-Based Youth Work Programme, and a Learning Partner, to assist all partners in ensuring optimum delivery across the programme.

The Learning Partner is a key part of the VRU's plans for the Hospital-Based Youth Work Programme and will work with all our providers of In-Hospital Youth Work services in London from mobilisation until March 2025 to deliver three core pieces of work, summarised below:

Co-design and Implementation of the Hospital-Based Youth Work Programme Data Framework

The Learning Partner will work with the Evaluation Partner to create and implement a uniform data framework across all providers, and then ensure that data collected through the duration of the contract is of sufficient quality and quantity to support the Evaluation Partner's impact evaluation.

Hospital-Based Youth Work Programme Active Contract Management

The Learning Partner will provide active contract management of the VRU's Hospital-Based Youth Work Programme. This will include working directly with all In-Hospital Youth Work service providers on:

Reactive troubleshooting - helping delivery partners to identify and resolve issues as soon as possible

Incremental improvements - continual sharing of learnings across sites and providers

Systems reengineering - scoping throughout the programme for opportunities for systemwide change

Hospital-Based Youth Work Programme Learnings Report, Resource Toolkit & Systems Change Paper

The Learning Partner will be required to produce a full report on learnings from the service delivery and an accompanying resource toolkit. The Learning Partner will also produce a paper outlining opportunities for systems change related to hospital-based youth work in general. If you have any clarification questions, please email these to VRUProcurement@london.gov.uk with "HBYW Learning Partner" as the subject line of the email.

The deadline for clarification questions is 30th June 2023.
