## Summary

The Care Quality Commission is overseeing a completed tender titled "Literature Review," aimed at enhancing public engagement in health and social care through a review of existing literature and research. This procurement falls under the market research services category and was conducted using a Request for Quote method. The contract period extends from 19 September 2018 to 30 November 2018, with the procurement process having reached the award stage on 16 July 2018. The tender's total value is £19,221, and it is relevant to organisations located within British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and the UK.

This tender provides an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in market research and health engagement strategies to compete for contracts. Given the focus on improving public engagement strategies at a time when health services are undergoing significant restructuring, companies with expertise in community engagement, research methodologies, and health sectors will find themselves well-positioned to submit proposals. The successful supplier, University of Plymouth Enterprise Limited, has the potential to set a precedent for similar organisations in this vital area of public health improvement.

## Notice

Healthwatch England is seeking to commission an organisation to undertake a review of literature and research to help inform our work to promote effective public engagement in health and social care. Healthwatch England has identified that while the existence of legal requirements for those who design and deliver services to engage with those who use services is generally well understood, the real and tangible benefits of that engagement for those who design, provide, fund and use services is often less well understood and less easily demonstrable. We are seeking to enable Healthwatch and our local and national partners to better make the case for effective engagement activity at a time when services are in the process of being re-designed to an unprecedented level and when people's engagement with that process is more important than ever.
