## Description
We are looking to appoint two    suppliers to host, design and run our consultations , and collect, undertake analysis of and report on responses that present results clearly to our key stakeholders.   Different consultations will have different levels of responsibility – for example in some cases the NMC may have more capacity to support on aspects such as setup, whereas in others it will be expected that the supplier will take full responsibility for this – such points would be discussed and agreed ahead of the start of each consultation. Depending on resourcing and anticipated size of the consultation, we undertake some in-house or use the services of an external research agency  . Our consultations range in size from relatively small (less than two hundred respondents) to much larger (more than 4,500 respondents). The appointed suppliers would then be on reserve/stand-by for any need for consultation work as part of this contract.
