Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "R&M171 Voice of the Customer - Market Engagement." This initiative falls under the category of market research services and is focused on exploring best-in-class solutions for a Voice of the Customer programme. Located in London, the UKHSA is inviting expressions of interest from qualified suppliers, with a Request for Information (RFI) expected to be published in the first week of January 2022. It is important to note that the preliminary market engagement is not defined as negotiation and any future competitive tender process will remain open.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in market research, customer experience platforms, or consultancy services tailored to voice of the customer initiatives. Companies that excel in customer satisfaction surveys and those experienced in continuous feedback mechanisms would be particularly well-suited to engage in this tender process. Involvement in this preliminary market consultation may help businesses align their offerings with the UKHSA's needs and enhance their chance of success in the forthcoming competitive tender.

Notice Title

R&M171 Voice of the Customer - Market Engagement

Notice Description

The UKHSA is seeking to engage with the market in order to gain knowledge & understanding regarding the range of potential solutions and best in class approaches to Voice of the Customer programmes that provide continuous customer experience feedback, in advance of a potential sourcing project to procure a suitably qualified supplier (or suppliers) to develop, alongside the Insight team, a new VoTC programme

Lot Information

Lot 1

The UK Health Security Agency wishes to explore the market, identify interest, and learn about best in class solutions from suitably qualified suppliers (or an optimal combination of suppliers) to develop and provide a Voice of the Customer programme. We're inviting initial expressions of interest and are intending to publish a Request for Information in the 1st week of Jan, which we encourage interested parties to complete. To support the development of our thinking and help to refine our requirements and shape our strategy for a potential competitive tender process we may choose to follow up on submitted RFI's with selected respondents and undertake some soft market testing. At this stage we are only undertaking preliminary market engagement. This will not be defined as negotiation and any future tender process will remain an open competitive process. These preliminary market consultations are being carried out under the provisions of Regulation 40 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102). Involvement in this soft market testing exercise will not preclude a participant from participating in any future tender process nor is it a pre-requirement for involvement in any forthcoming tender. Additional information: The VOTC programme is UKHSA's continuous customer experience feedback programme. It is an essential tool in enabling us to monitor how customers feel about the service we provide, to spot issues and resolve them, to hold contractors to account, to understand customer experience, behaviours and the link between these, and to make improvements to our service based on research insight.
