Tender description

Commissioners would like to invite interested stakeholders, to express their interest in participating in a market engagement event scheduled for 7.9.2018. Current services are commissioned through block contract arrangements and the North West Placement Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). Block contracts are due to expire during 2019 and therefore we are seeking to potentially recommission services to meet the needs of both homeless young people and care leavers. In order to ensure that we design services that will promote good outcomes for young people we are seeking views from all stakeholders. The purpose of the event is: — for Lancashire County Council to share its vision of a future service delivery model and to seek feedback from stakeholders, — to plan any potential forthcoming procurement arrangements, — to build on existing expertise and ensure best use of the funding resources, — to work in partnership to maximise outcomes through innovative thinking. Lancashire County Council will release the agenda for the marketing event via its website before the 7.9.2018. Please keep updated via the following link to our website, where further information will be made available as appropriate: https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/business/tenders-and-procurement/tenders/ Please note that this is not a tender exercise and participation (or non-participation) in dialogue will confer no advantage or disadvantage should commissioners commence the formal procurement process.
