To create a UK wide digital service which will provide a near real-time overview of the delivery status, and support operational delivery of health and care research across the UK. The services we create through RDDI will provide information to patients, the public, industry and other stakeholders on health research happening across the country and will provide deeper insights into research performance, capacity and capability in research delivery organisations. The contract is for the provision of a unified Research Delivery Data and Intelligence solution (the Solution) that provides Central, Regional and local portfolio management capability and a central data and intelligence integration, analysis and reporting tool.
