UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council is initiating a public procurement process focused on neighbourhood engagement programmes within the health and social work services sector. The current stage is 'planning', specifically focusing on market engagement to gather insights from providers experienced in delivering place-based engagement programmes and project management. Interested organisations are invited to participate in this preliminary engagement by providing feedback through a survey link provided in the market engagement notice, with responses due by 4 pm on 13 May 2026.

This procurement opportunity is aligned for businesses that specialise in health and social work services, particularly those adept at managing community engagement projects.
