This procurement falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services. The planning stage is currently underway, with a key milestone set for the engagement end date on 2nd September 2019 at 23:59:59. The CQC aims to gauge market interest in providing services that collect insights from users of health and social care services in England. Interested parties should note that a webinar session is scheduled for 22nd August 2019 to discuss the requirements further. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in market research services, particularly those focused on health and social care. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate as they can provide valuable insights and contributions to the CQC's work. By engaging in this RFI, businesses can foster partnerships that may lead to future service provision contracts, helping them to expand their operations within a critical sector of public service. ## Notice The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is looking to gauge market interest and conditions for the provision of services to gather intelligence from people who use services, their family members and carers relating to the quality of health and social care services in England. As the independent regulator of health and adult social care services in England, CQC is responsible for monitoring and inspecting these services to ensure they are providing care that is safe, effective, caring, responsive to people's needs and well-led. Listening to and acting on people's experiences of care is vital to CQC's work, as it helps us to decide when, where and what to inspect, supports better registration, inspection, judgements and ratings, and results in better information for the public. Since 2012, CQC has established a number of partnerships with national voluntary organisations, known as Tell us about your care partnerships, in order to increase our access to people's experiences of care via organisations that are already working with and hearing from people on an on-going basis. Further information on 'Tell us about your care' can be found at http://www.cqc.org.uk/public/get-involved/tell-us-about-your-care-partnerships CQC anticipates publishing a ~Request for Information (RFI) market engagement exercise on 12th August 2019, whereby organisations who are interested in this requirement will have the opportunity to review a draft Service Specification and respond to a number of questions regarding the nature of the service requirement. As part of this process, webinar sessions are anticipated to be held on 22nd August (14:00-15:00) and 29th August (15:30 -16:30) to enable CQC to provide further information about the service requirement (please note that the times/dates of the webinars are subject to change). Following this it is intended that a procurement exercise will take place commencing September 2019. The RFI and any future procurement exercise will be undertaken using the CQC Provider Portal eTendering Service.
