We are open to suppliers suggesting a different split as long as they clearly specify their justifications as opposed to what we have outlined.e : • 20% who have not heard of CQC • 20% who are current users of general healthcare services • 20% who have used a hospital in the past year • 20% current users of social care services or carers of someone using social care • 20% current users of mental healthcare services or carers of someone using mental healthcare services Within these categories, we would specifically look to know if any of the following groups are represented for internal reporting purposes: • people with long term conditions • People with a disability including learning disabilities • Carers Additional information: If your organisation has not yet registered on CQC's e-tendering portal please register via the weblink [cqc-commercial.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html](https://cqc-commercial.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html) where once registered you will be able to access all tender documentation Read full description ## CPV classification Market research services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/53190c72-eeba-4da2-a03e-b23dc4bdf3ee) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
