    Brief

    The Welsh Government is seeking suppliers to deliver an independent evaluation of how the Health and Social Care (Quality and Engagement) (Wales) Act 2020 has been implemented and what impact it has achieved. The evaluation will assess individual duties created by the Act (Duty of Quality, Duty of Candour, Citizen Voice Body, and Statutory Vice Chairs) and examine how they work together to meet the Act's overall goals. This is a theory-based evaluation building on a completed evaluability assessment. The contract is valued at up to £275,000 (excluding VAT) and will run for 24 months, with a possible 3-month extension. The Welsh Government is considering whether to offer this as a single contract or divide it into five work packages: Work Package 0 (overall coordination and synthesis), and Work Packages 1-4 (evaluation of each specific duty or provision). Suppliers can bid for individual work packages, multiple packages, or lead the entire evaluation. This is a preliminary market engagement to gather supplier interest and feedback on the proposed structure and approach. Responses are due by 2pm on 16 October 2026 to Research.HealthAndSocialServices@gov.wales. Procurement is expected in 2026/2027 with contract commencement in 2027/28.
