Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is currently in the planning stage for the procurement process titled "Early Market Engagement for Southend Healthwatch." This initiative aims to engage with the market to assess capacity and interest in delivering the Southend Healthwatch service from 1st April 2021. The engagement is set to conclude on 26th June 2020, and the contract, valued at approximately £119,000 annually, covers health and social work services within the East of England. The council intends to gather insights that will inform future service models compliant with the Public Contract Regulations (2015, updated 2016).

This early market engagement presents excellent opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in health and social care services. Companies with experience in servicing local health organisations or those capable of delivering effective consumer advocacy within health and social care frameworks would be particularly well-suited to participate. This initiative not only facilitates a better understanding of market capabilities but also establishes a foundation for potential future procurement opportunities within Southend-on-Sea.

Notice Title

Early Market Engagement for Southend Healthwatch

Notice Description

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is seeking to engage with the market to gain an understanding of the capacity and appetite to deliver its Southend Healthwatch service from 1st April 2021. This exercise is to inform the Council in its consideration of options for the future service model and provision of the Southend Healthwatch Service. This is not a call for competition. As such any future procurement process will be compliant with the Public Contract Regulations (2015 (updated 2016)). This includes but is not limited to advertising and fair treatment of economic operators regardless of their involvement in this Market Engagement. The Health and Social Care Act 2012 requires local authorities with adults and children's social care responsibilities to commission a Local Healthwatch organisation to act as a consumer voice for people of all ages (children, young people and adults) using health and social care services from 1st April 2013. In Southend-on-Sea the current contract for the provision of our Local Healthwatch service is due to end in March 2021. The annual contract value is around PS119,000, including premises, insurance, staffing and overhead costs. The Council is interested to understand the level of market interest in the provision of its Local Healthwatch service from 1st April 2020.
