## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust commissioned CQC surveys for the Trust. This is a research and survey services requirement, covering the design, administration or delivery of surveys used in connection with Care Quality Commission activity. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The services are intended to be delivered in the Dorset and Somerset area of England. The awarded requirement is organised as a single package. It is relevant to organisations that provide public-sector research, patient or service-user surveys, questionnaire-based evaluation, survey fieldwork, data collection or related analytical support. Suppliers whose work includes healthcare research or feedback programmes may find the requirement particularly aligned with their existing service offer, subject to the detailed service requirements used by the Trust.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, Quality Health Limited, was selected for the single package. The award is active and the contract was signed on 21 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The evaluation outcome reflects a limited-competition procedure rather than an open tender. The award covers research and survey services, with the classifications identifying both research services and survey services. The contracting process is recorded as complete, while the contract itself is active. Quality Health Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise, is the appointed supplier for the CQC Surveys requirement.

This award provides a clear indication that Somerset NHS Foundation Trust buys specialist survey and research support for CQC-related activity through a below-threshold limited competition. A future competitor would need a credible ability to plan and deliver structured surveys for an NHS organisation, manage respondent or service-user engagement, collect reliable information and provide outputs that support regulatory or service-quality work. Relevant experience in healthcare research, patient feedback, public-sector survey programmes or evaluation would strengthen a supplier’s position. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate dependable delivery at the scale of a Trust-wide requirement, appropriate data handling and clear reporting. The selected supplier’s SME status shows that this type of work is not necessarily limited to the largest research agencies.
