Summary of the contracting process

The Hertfordshire County Council is currently conducting Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) for a framework agreement aimed at spot providers of Reablement and Support at Home Services. This initiative, tagged as "HCC - 10/21," is classified under social work and related services, with delivery expected primarily in the East of England, particularly at Hertfordshire (postal code SG13 8DE). The PPME started on 13th October 2021, and suppliers are required to submit their responses by 29th October 2021. Although this process is not part of a formal procurement procedure, it serves to gather feedback for future decision-making regarding the procurement of these services, fostering an open method of engagement without formal commitment from the Council at this stage.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social care and community health services, particularly those able to provide home support solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from participating in this market engagement process, as it allows them to showcase their capabilities and influence potential future procurement opportunities. Given that participation will be cost borne by the suppliers, companies that are proactive in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of their service offerings may be well-positioned to compete effectively for future contracts, thus fostering growth in the supportive care sector.

Notice Title

HCC - 10/21 - Pre-Procurement Market Engagement for a Framework Agreement for Spot Providers to provide Support at Home Services

Notice Description

Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ('PPME') in relation to a Framework Agreement for Spot providers to provide Support at Home Services. 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. Please download and complete the attached questionnaire and submit it by the due date in the system. This stage of the project allows the Council to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the options; technologies; methodologies; and/or solutions available to deliver its outcomes. Furthermore, this process enables organisations to effectively plan for any potential forthcoming procurement.
