Digital Discovery Call Off

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done CQC is launching a series of eight discoveries to modernise its service offer to three different customer groups: health and care providers, the public, and CQC staff. The aim of the discoveries is to identify user groups and their needs, understand technical/policy constraints, and to prepare business cases for creating efficiencies through digitisation of services. Problem to Be Solved An experience supplier to provide the following discovery work planned for the year; For health and care providers, pre-discovery work identified a need for them to transact with CQC online and in a simpler way than the Commission is currently offering. Regarding the general public, CQC receives feedback on good/bad care experience from service users, employees of services, or 3rd parties acting on behalf of the public. Also under consideration is search, display of inspection reports and URL structure. For the CQC staff, the intranet does not meet all user needs, and we need to migrate from a Sharepoint-based solution.
