NHS Patient Survey Approved Contractor Framework
Care Quality Commission · Central government
In brief
Care Quality Commission has announced plans to buy marketing work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.
It is a framework worth up to £4,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.
The contract runs for 2 years, starting 2 February 2027.
The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.
Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.
Can I win this?
Competition
Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for marketing contracts in this region (from 22 awards in the last 12 months).
Framework
Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £4,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
