What is being bought

Published requirement description

We are looking for a contractor to carry out a public dialogue on screening intervals to capture the diverse views of the UK public on screening intervals so that future policies and decisions can better reflect societal hopes, concerns, and aspirations. Effective engagement strategies may involve interviews, focus groups, public forums, surveys, and stakeholder consultations to balance evidence with public preferences and societal values. For avoidance of doubt this is not a call for competition, the purpose is to advise the market on the forthcoming DHSC procurement and seek feedback from the market that may inform the final specification and/or procurement approach to the services. Full information on the documents attached.
