Lot Information
Lot 1
The supplier will complete assessments across a wide range of MaPS services including regulated debt advice, pensions guidance, Pension Wise and money guidance. The supplier will be responsible for the delivery of an independent quality assessment service across all delivery channels that MaPS either delivers internally or funds through external delivery partners, to ensure that all service lines are meeting (as a minimum) the requirements of the FCA approved MaPS Standards. The delivery of the service will be supported by a MaPS created quality assessment tool but will be facilitated longer term by a technical solution sourced through a separate procurement exercise. The current solution will be maintained and managed by MaPS but utilisation of the current and future tool will be a requirement of delivery. The channels can include but are not limited to; face to face provision, telephone, written communications including the use of web chat and digital provisions. The service will need to be designed to provide assurance that the quality frameworks being used by both internal delivery teams and external delivery partners are effective, robust and in line with contract expectations. The service will need to utilise the skills and experience of subject matter experts to undertake quality assessments. MaPS will expect the service to monitor and assess customer facing quality assurance as well as organisational controls following these principles: * Having a customer centric focus * Systematic approach to management * Utilisation of technology and reporting tools to enable live in month reporting * Ability to assess against a set of quality criteria incorporating process and technical components across varying channels and including reviewing face to face case records, transcripts, written communications, digital interactions and audio records * Ensures that the quality assurance activity is proportionate and relevant - ensuring that the sample size, frequency and remedial action is aligned to a risk-based approach to monitoring * Timely and includes in month live reporting by service line, channel and theme * Enables root-cause analysis and continuous improvement * Provides oversight of policies, processes and training material where required in order to identify opportunities for continuous improvement * Consistent across all service lines and delivery mechanisms.
