Description

This is a Contract Award Notice.

In 2021, CQC published its strategy for the changing world of health and social care. The strategy aims to make our regulation more relevant to the way care is now delivered, more flexible to manage risk and uncertainty, and it will enable CQC to respond in a quicker and more proportionate way as the health and care environment continues to evolve.

Designed to support the ambitions of the new strategy, CQC began rolling out its new regulatory model in November 2023. There have been significant challenges with this rollout, and changes to the approach now need to be made. We are now seeking a supplier to undertake a comprehensive evaluation of the model.

This procurement was undertaken through the Care Quality Commission Research and Evaluation Framework (CQC EP&S 052) Lot 1 - Research Partner, following the Direct Award process.

The Contract is awarded for an initial period of 5 months with an option to extend for up to 29 months.

Total Awarded Value is maximum of all charges including all optional contract extensions.
