Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust commissioned survey services: CQC Surveys 27–30, for a three-year programme of surveys. The work is for the Trust and concerns CQC surveys; the procurement does not describe the survey topics, respondent groups or delivery locations in further detail. The service category is survey services (CPV 79311000).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to IQVIA Ltd. The award date was 23 October 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030, with an optional 12-month extension, potentially extending the period to 31 January 2031. The awarded value is £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). The Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one bid for the single lot. The published procurement information does not set out the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers competing for comparable survey work for Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, this award demonstrates demand for a multi-year CQC survey programme procured through limited competition. A credible competitor would need to show it can plan and deliver recurring survey services over a sustained period, with the capacity and operational reliability to support a healthcare trust. IQVIA Ltd, a large supplier, was selected; the process received one bid, so the award provides evidence of a relatively focused competition. The procurement does not describe specific survey methods, technical systems, accreditations or specialist qualifications, so there is no source-backed basis for treating any particular one as a requirement.
