Tender description

Hertfordshire County Council (the Council) is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) in relation to Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT). 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 and West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) are holding a pre-procurement market engagement event for providers of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT). This is to engage with us in discussions about meeting the opportunities and requirements as set out in the Mental Health Five Year Forward view and beyond.
