Tender description

Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ("PPME") in relation to The Future of Community Services in Hertfordshire. 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. This event is aimed at all providers who want to support adults, aged 18+, in the community. We are looking for providers with an enabling and risk positive approach that empowers people to strive for independence and achieve their goals. This includes services to prepare for and support into employment and volunteering. The event is open to existing providers who are already working with Hertfordshire County Council as well as new providers who seek to offer their service in Hertfordshire in the future or extend their current service offers. Providers with existing day service contracts, end dates March 2019, are strongly encouraged to attend.
