Report on the training sessions for Engaging personnel involved in the tender preparation

In order to support the procurers in the tendering process several training/workshop sessions are planned to reveal the knowledge insight the procuring organization, to provide guidance on topics where less expertise is available, and to increase acceptance among professionals involved in the service delivery. Topics that will be part of the training are: • Explanation about the project and the goal that each procurer is trying to achieve • Legal advice in relation to PPI pilots • Support in drafting the tenders in a way that innovation is encouraged • Support in defining the right Key Performance Indicators These training sessions will be carried out by the knowledge partners in the project supported by experts that will be subcontracted to provide specific input relevant for the training sessions. Overall goal of these sessions is “acceptance by engagement”. By involving the persons that take part in writing the tender as well as the persons involved in the actual service delivery a clear message is sent that they are valued and play an important role in this process. The employees that take part in the service delivery are the ambassadors of the change that will be set into motion by RITMOCORE. To have them supporting the new service delivery will have a positive effect on the acceptance of the services by patients. This material will be used as an addition to the material developed in task 5.2 to support to assist the promotion of the innovative care model and the related technological solutions in the domain, across interested procurers
