Could you provide a Qualitative Health Needs Assessment to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde?

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified organisation(s) to perform a qualitative health needs assessment of community justice service users and those in prison on remand in the NHSGGC Board area. The successful bidder will work with these groups to describe their perceptions of health status, health service usage and their health needs.

This project will help describe and measure the less well understood health needs of a complex, vulnerable and often marginalised group and to contribute towards reducing reoffending by building the evidence base through which we better tackle the health and social care-related drivers of offending behaviour. Ultimately this work aims to strengthen the evidence base to support national and local improvement work.

Background

NHSGGC are undertaking a wider Health Needs Assessment (HNA) of community justice service users and those on remand to support delivery of national community justice priorities. This project forms the qualitative component of the wider HNA. The qualitative health needs assessment is required to be designed, delivered and reported on in a way appropriate to justice settings, taking cognisance of the importance of trauma informed principles and practice.

NHSGGC hope to publish on Public Contracts Scotland probably in the next month the tender. It is a one-off piece of research, aiming to be completed this financial year with a budget of just over £50k.
