Tender description

Hertfordshire County Council (the ‘Council’) is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (‘PPME’) in relation to Spot Accreditation. The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council's options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council. Hertfordshire County Council is launching its accreditation process for spot home care providers. The event is being held at Hertfordshire Development Centre, Six Hills Way, Stevenage, SG1 2FQ on Monday 16th October 9:30-12:30 (9:00-9:30 for registration). Places are being limited to 2 attendees per provider. Bookings should be made via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/providing-support-in-peoples-homes-spot-accreditation-for-all-client-groups-tickets-38538653149 The Council currently contracts with four Lead Providers across the County who are responsible for delivering a contracted % market share of support at home services to people over the age of 18 with Health and Social Care needs. This will predominantly be older people and those with a physical disability, but also includes people with a Learning Disability and Mental Health Problems. The remainder of the market will be supported by a range of spot providers. This event will be an early opportunity.
