Description

This is a Contract Award Notice

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) requires research to deliver increased understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing ICSs to enable CQC to better use our independent voice to encourage improvement. In the context of considerable financial pressure and demand on services, we would like to understand how ICSs understand their ability to deliver improvements for people and communities and their perspectives on key barriers and enablers to progress. By publishing aggregated findings in our State of Care report (with associated commentary), we will seek to drive systemic impact and influence policy makers.

This procurement was undertaken through the CQC Research and Evaluation Framework Lot 6 - Local health and social care systems, integration, and joined-up care, following the Further Competition process.

The Contract is awarded for an initial period of 11 months with an option to extend for up to 12 months.

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