UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council is planning to retender its Conflict Resolution Service, a health and social work service intended to support conflict resolution activity in Pembrokeshire. The procurement is for service delivery rather than goods or construction, and the planned contract is organised as one lot. The council is using early market engagement to help shape the future service and its specification. This will be relevant to organisations that already deliver conflict resolution, mediation or related health and social care services, including voluntary, community and social enterprises. Delivery is expected in Pembrokeshire, with the council acting as the public-sector buyer. The service sits within the light-touch regime for health and social services.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced its intention to retender, but there is no invitation to tender yet. It expects to hold an in-person market engagement and consultation event on 14 October 2026, from 09:30 to 11:30, at Pembrokeshire Archives in Haverfordwest. Organisations planning to attend are asked to provide their organisation name and attending representatives by 12:00 on 13 October 2026, with places limited to two representatives per provider. The council’s indicative date for the next notice is 1 December 2026. The estimated value is £166,666.67 excluding VAT, or £200,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with a possible extension to 31 March 2029.

The planned service should suit established conflict-resolution providers, mediation organisations and health or social care specialists able to design and deliver a service in Pembrokeshire. The council has identified the procurement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller organisations and mission-led providers may be well placed to prepare. The market engagement is specifically intended to inform the future specification, giving providers an opportunity to explain workable service models, delivery approaches and relevant experience before the tender is issued. Organisations should be ready to discuss their capability to manage conflict-resolution work, support service users and operate effectively within a public-sector contract. No particular accreditation or formal qualification is identified at this planning stage.
