        <title>Independent Learning Responses Framework</title>
        <description>
          <p>The Independent Learning Responses Framework will replace what was previously known as the Independent Investigations Framework.</p>
          <p>This proposed procurement is required to modernise and strengthen the independent investigations supply market, to align with national expectations for learning responses. The proposed framework will be used by NHS England independent investigation teams, national commissioning teams and other authorised NHS commissioners who require independent, system‑based investigations or assurance/learning reviews.</p>
          <p>The framework will be divided into the proposed Lots:</p>
          <p>Lot 1. Specialist Advisor Role(s)</p>
          <p>Including: - Chair/Lead</p>
          <p>- Clinical Expert</p>
          <p>- Safety/Investigations Expert</p>
          <p>- Family Liaison</p>
          <p>Lot 2. Quality Governance Review</p>
          <p>Lot 3. Patient Safety Incident Investigation</p>
          <p>Lot 4. Thematic Review</p>
          <p>Lot 5. Pathway/service Review</p>
          <p>Lot 6. Post Response Impact Assurance Review</p>
          <p>The open framework will run under the new regulations, the Procurement Act 2023 and under Light Touch Regime. The framework will run for a maximum of 8 years. The estimated start date for the framework agreement is 4th May 2027.</p>
