Summary of the contracting process

The Hertfordshire County Council - Adult Care Services is conducting Pre-Procurement Market Engagement for a Supported Living Framework. This stage is not part of a formal procurement process but aims to gather feedback for future decision making. Interested providers can participate in a survey until 31 August 2023 to inform service modelling and procurement approach. There will be a Provider Event on 12 September 2023, with a second event planned in early December. The procurement method is an Open procedure, with a tender period ending on 31 December 2023 and contract period starting on 1 January 2024.

This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs in the health and social work services sector, particularly those offering welfare services for the handicapped, social work services, and social work services with accommodation. Businesses interested in providing Supported Living Services should engage in the PPME process to stay informed and potentially participate in the future procurement. The engagement activities aim to ensure a fair and transparent procurement process that does not disadvantage any provider. Providers are encouraged to attend events and share feedback to help shape the final tender process.
