Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves a soft market test titled "Soft Market Test for the Provision of Carer Services" initiated by Peterborough City Council. The procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category and is based in the East of England, UK. Currently in the planning stage, the buying organisation is seeking engagement from interested parties to inform their approach ahead of the expected tender issuance in April 2019. Interested organisations must complete a Soft Market Testing Questionnaire by 12 noon on 23rd November 2018, and individual meetings will take place in December 2018.
