Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council has initiated a market engagement for their All Age Advocacy Services, classified under the Health and Social Work Services industry (CPV 85000000). The council aims to gather insights from the market regarding the capacity and interest in delivering these services starting from 1st April 2025. The engagement will end on the 27th of September 2024. This process is in the planning stage and is not a call for competition, but rather an effort to inform the council's future service model and procurement options. The services will be delivered in the East of England, and the procurement process will adhere to the Public Contract Regulations (2015, updated 2016).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially SMEs and VCSEs, to potentially secure a contract with a major public entity. Companies specialised in health and social work services that can demonstrate strong capacity and innovative approaches to advocacy are well-suited to participate. Engaging in this process now enables businesses to provide valuable input that may shape the final tender, positioning them advantageously for the upcoming procurement stages anticipated later in 2024, with the contract award expected in January 2025. Interested businesses should submit their written confirmation and a response to the market engagement question by 5pm on Friday, 27th September 2024, via email to strategiccommissioning@southend.gov.uk.
