Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Peterborough City Council is currently in the planning stage of its procurement process for a project titled "Soft Market Test - Housing Related Support Services." The aim of this initiative is to engage potential providers and gather insights on the effective delivery of housing support services, with a specific focus on generalist information, advice, guidance, and crisis management services. This engagement process is set to conclude on 4th August 2021, and the services fall under the health and social work services category. Providers interested in this opportunity can review the market engagement notice published on 4th May 2021 and are encouraged to participate by completing a questionnaire by 21st May 2021.

This soft market testing exercise presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the charity and social enterprise sectors, as well as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and new market entrants. It invites feedback to shape the eventual procurement documentation while not constituting a formal procurement action. Businesses equipped to deliver housing-related support services are well-suited to participate in this engagement, enabling them to potentially influence the direction of future contracts and strengthen their role within this sector.
