County Durham and Darlington (covering a 3 CCG footprint) has identified a local priority to improve the uptake of structured education for people with Type 2 diabetes. To improve uptake further and capture patients who work or prefer online resources, an amount of funding has been designated to support a pilot of a digital structured education option, with ongoing funding to procure a long-term solution.

To evaluate the current digital solutions on offer a closed Dragon’s Den will be held to allow an effective evaluation of the various offers. These closed pitching sessions will allow potential providers to cover the key criteria identified by the locality in a confidential environment.

Aims and Objectives

All invited providers will have an opportunity to demonstrate their solutions. All providers should address the following evaluation criteria that will be used on the day.
