## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), involves a contract titled "Crab Quarterly Data Sets" focussed on market research services. This contract aims to analyse patient-level data to enhance the oversight of NHS trusts and improve medical care services. The procurement is currently complete, with the award made on 1 November 2016, and the contract period running from 1 December 2016 to 31 March 2018. The tender was open for submissions until 3 October 2016 and encompasses delivery within various regions, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in market research and data analysis within the healthcare sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those with a capability to provide detailed patient-level insights and understand the complexities of healthcare data. Engaging in such procurement could enhance their visibility and reputation within the healthcare industry, making it a promising avenue for business growth.

## Notice

CQC requires detailed information on quality from patient-level data to help to identify good practice and danger zones at an early stage to inform ongoing monitoring of Medical Care and Surgery services in the Next Phase of regulation of NHS trusts. The requirement is for monitoring information about hospitals to review underlying issues of morbidity and avoidable harm beyond mortality. CQC is particularly looking to fill a gap beneath headline mortality analysis from SHMI/HSMR and therefore help to explain or validate outliers as well as giving some indication of root cause.
