This covers transfers across Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Dorset, Berkshire West and West Sussex. The full service scope is in the process of being defined and the Commissioner will be holding Market Engagement Event (MEE) with the aim of: * Engage with providers and facilitate providers networking with each other * Understanding the interest there might be in providing such a service from suitably qualified providers * Informing the commissioning process * Gathering information from stakeholders who may be used to shape the tender process and documentation.

An expression of interest to attend this MEE is no indication of a commitment to participate in any future tender process nor does it infer any special status on those Providers who do attend.

Any procurement conducted subsequent to the event will be advertised separately and all organisations wanting to participate will need to respond to the procurement advertisement as and when it is published. Providers who do not attend this MEE will still be able to apply for the Procurement in the future.
