Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of the "Learning Disabilities Accommodation and Support Services Market Engagement Event," aimed at reviewing its supported living services for individuals with learning disabilities. This event is scheduled for 6th November 2018, from 09:30am to 12:00pm, at the Darwin Room, Tickfield Centre, located in Southend-on-Sea, England. The council is addressing an impending contract expiry in May 2019 and is seeking to engage the market about potential service model options. Interested participants should confirm attendance via Eventbrite, with a deadline for engagement set for 6th November 2018.

This pre-procurement engagement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in supported living and housing-related services. Companies that can provide flexible support solutions tailored for people with learning disabilities will find this event beneficial for showcasing their capabilities and establishing connections with the council. Given that this initiative is aligned with a larger contract, businesses that can demonstrate innovative approaches to fostering independence and community integration for service users are likely to be well-suited to compete in future procurement processes.
