This is not a call for competition. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulatory of health and adult social care in England. CQC is responsible for monitoring and inspecting these services to ensure they are providing care that is safe, effective, caring and responsive to people's needs and well-led listening to acting on people's experiences of care is vital to CQC's work, as it helps us to decide when, where and what to inspect, supports better registration, inspection, judgements and ratings, and result in better information for the public. Since 2012 CQC has established a number of partnerships with national voluntary organisations, known as 'Tell us Partnerships' in order to increase our access to people's experiences of care via organisations that are already working with and hearing from people on an ongoing basis. Further information can be found at: [cqc.org.uk](https://www.cqc.org.uk/get-involved/share-your-experience/tell-us-about-your-care-partnerships) The contract will start from May 2023 for initial 12 months with 2 x 12 months optional extensions. Due to the likely specialist nature of the requirements, CQC considers that this specific expertise is not widely available through current government procurement channels or frameworks, the procurement will follow the Open procedure as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Regulation 27). Subject to approvals, the Invitation To Tender (ITT) will be published on the CQC's eSourcing Portal: [health-family.force.com/s/Welcome](https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome) There is no requirement to register at this stage. We intend to issue the opportunity late February 2023. Potential suppliers will not be prejudiced by any response to this Notice and a response is not expected. The purpose of this Notice is to alert potential suppliers of a possible opportunity that may be of interest and to inform the market of the upcoming opportunity and enable work planning. CQC reserves the right to discontinue the process at any time and this Notice does not constitute a commitment by CQC to undertake any procurement process in relation to the requirements.
