Research and Evaluation Framework

Care Quality Commission (CQC) is intending to set up a new Research and Evaluation Procurement Framework.

The framework will be used to procure health and social care research on topics relating to safety, improving quality, regulation, inequalities in care, local health and care systems, integration, involving people in care, and understanding their experience of care.

More information about working with us on research can be found on our website: https://www.cqc.org.uk/about-us/transparency/external-reports-research/working-with-us-on-research
