The limitations of our current technical solution mean that CQC will have to continue to manage day-to-day delivery of the site, including the upload of content and recruits. CQC will provide the supplier with updates on who has responded to tasks. We would look to the external supplier to outline in their bid and deliver innovative solutions to ensure a minimum number of responses (80) are achieved per task. This contract is for an initial twelve months in length however CQC reserves the right to extend the contract subject to agreement by both parties.
