Tender description

The nature of this PIN is not a call for competition. It is to advertise to the market of our intention to run a market event. North Somerset Council is keen to begin a dialogue with service providers and investors who are interested in working with us to develop a new service for families with children on the edge of care. The Council received a grant from the Commissioning Better Outcomes Big Lottery fund for the development of a business case in March 2015. Having now completed this work we would like to engage with service providers and investors who are interested in the opportunity to develop a Social Impact Bond to improve outcomes for families with children looked after or at risk of becoming looked after. To commence discussions we would like to invite you to a market event at 9:30 on Friday 12 February. This event will take place at the Town Hall in Weston-super-Mare, full address as follows: The Rickford Room, Town Hall, Walliscote Road, Weston-super-Mare, BS23 1UJ. The aim of the session will be to: — Share information about the Council's Social Impact Bond proposal and the draft procurement plan; — Gain insight from potential providers and investors to enable our approach to be refined; — Provide opportunities for discussion and networking between the Council, investors/intermediaries and providers. If you are interested in attending this event please contact Lorraine Bush on 01934 634888 or Lorraine.bush@n-somerset.gov.uk Please also note that any additional information provided in this PIN, such as value and start dates are subject to change.
