This contract, classified under research and development consultancy services, is based in London, United Kingdom. The tender is currently at the planning stage and is open for submissions until 12 January 2018. The total contract value is estimated at £118,200, with a minimum budget of £90,000. The procurement follows an open procedure, which allows any interested parties to submit their bids. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy within the health and social care sector. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly encouraged to apply, as the CQC seeks insights into the quality of care provided by various organisations. Companies with expertise in economic and social research services will find this project well-suited to their capabilities, as it aims to enhance understanding of the CQC's impact on care quality improvements across the system. ## Notice The primary objective is to strengthen the evidence about CQC's contribution to improvements in quality of care. To achieve this, the project will: * Provide credible insight into the existing relationship between CQC, providers of care and other organisations active in the health and social care system, including the degree to which there is a shared view of quality. * Add to our understanding of how CQC's impact interplays with other influences on quality and the contribution CQC makes alongside those other factors. * Identify the potential for CQC to maximise its levers for improvements in the quality of care across the health and social care system. * Further develop appropriate indicators for ongoing monitoring of CQC's relationship with system partners and stakeholders for the remainder of the Strategy period. This work should provide actionable learning about how CQC can maximise its contribution to improvements in quality of care.
