Summary of the contracting process

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is seeking suppliers for the "Design of Assessments" project, intended to enhance the design of bespoke assessments across various job families, particularly focusing on frontline Inspection staff. The contract, valued at £106,140, falls under the industry category of "Design and execution of research and development" and is associated with a procurement method classified as "Other". The contract period is from 19 January 2015 to 19 July 2016, while the tender period concluded on 18 November 2014. The CQC is located in Gallowgate, Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for firms specialised in assessment design, especially those with expertise in creating accessible and inclusive assessment tools. Businesses that provide services in occupational psychology, design of competency-based assessments, and customised evaluation methodologies are particularly well-suited to compete. Collaborations with larger companies like Gatenby Sanderson Ltd may also prove advantageous for vendors looking to expand their market reach within the public sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Design of Assesments

Notice Description

Design of Assessments We are looking for suppliers to provide an experienced team of design specialists (occupational psychologists, business psychologists and assessment professionals) to support the ongoing design of bespoke assessments for a variety of job families across the business. Initially, this work will centre on our frontline Inspection staff (Inspectors and Inspection Managers), as well as on Registration Inspection and some of our Analyst type roles, as these roles are a priority recruitment area across the organisation. However, we would also look for the supplier to provide us with an ongoing design service not limited to those roles. Our assessment design partner should be able to recommend and provide suitable off the shelf assessment tools, as well as have the capability to design bespoke CQC exercises, for example, competency based interview scripts, case studies, presentation style exercises, analytical reasoning tests, role plays and group exercises, amongst others. We are looking for suppliers to have extensive experience of designing fully accessible assessments for the purposes of inclusivity. CQC would also expect that the design of assessments will include considerations made / alternatives suggested for candidates who have requested a range of reasonable adjustments.
