Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council is currently conducting a soft market testing initiative titled "Soft Market Testing - Social Welfare, Information and Advice Service." This procurement falls within the health and social work services industry category and is located in England, United Kingdom. The tender was published on 11th February 2021, and responses are required by 15th March 2021. The aim of this exercise is to gather insights from providers on the delivery of social welfare and advice services to inform future commissioning efforts.

This opportunity presents a significant chance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in the development of social welfare services. Businesses that specialise in community services, social work, or advisory services would be well-suited to respond. By participating, these entities can directly influence the service specifications and potentially secure future contracts with the council, thereby fostering their growth and enhancing service delivery in the region.

Soft Market Testing - Social Welfare, Information and Advice Service

Notice Description

The purpose of the soft market testing is to capture your comments, to help inform the future commissioning of a Cheshire West Social Welfare, Information and Advice Service. Your responses will be used by commissioners in commercial confidence.

We are keen to hear about what has worked well and not so well and what could be done differently? Your feedback will support the development of the new social welfare, information and advice specification. Your responses will help shape the future model. Please register your interest by logging into the e-tendering portal, The Chest, www.the-chest.org.uk .
