Summary of the contracting process

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is seeking to manage the continuation of the NHS Patient Survey Programme via the "Extension of NHS Patient Survey Programme Approved Contractor Framework". This procurement falls under the industry category of "Market research services" and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the current stage is the Award phase, with the contract period extending from 1st December 2018 to 30th November 2022. The award, valued at £1,314,000, was published on 15th October 2021, confirming the inclusion of multiple suppliers, including the Picker Institute Europe and Quality Health Limited.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in market research and public-opinion polling services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in these sectors could benefit greatly from this framework, especially those capable of conducting comprehensive surveys and analysing data on patient experiences within NHS services. The extension of the framework highlights the ongoing demand for insightful intelligence on healthcare provisions, creating a fertile ground for related businesses to engage and grow within this space.

Notice Title

Extension of NHS Patient Survey Programme Approved Contractor Framework

Notice Description

CQC collects, analyses and uses a range of intelligence that can inform us about people's experiences of care. Part of that information currently comes from people who have recently used specific NHS services and are asked about their experiences as part of NHS Patient survey Programme delivered by CQC. Additional information: The attached link is the OJEU notice which covers the award of this framework under Lot 3. Inadvertently the award for Lot 3 was not included in the Contracts Finder award notices for NHS Patient Survey Programme. The original OJEU notice only included Picker Institute Europe as being party to the award where this should have also included Quality Health Limited, Patient Perspective Ltd and BMG Research Ltd. This has now been corrected with a modification notice on TED. While a 12 month extension of the framework is now being exercised, BMG Research have taken the decision not to take up the offer of this extension.
