Description

THIS IS A PRELIMINARY MARKET ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY

Queen Victoria NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to understand whether there are any organisations that are interested in providing a Friends and Family Test Service.

The successful provider would be expected to provide a web based software solution for the design, compilation, administration, analysis and reporting of the Friends Family Test questionnaire.

Organisations are requested to express an interest by sending a short introductory email to qvh.procurement@nhs.net by 5pm on 20th January 2026

It will help inform our business case and plans but will not in any way influence the outcome for future tender opportunities. At this stage, no commitment is being made by the Trust to procure any services.
