UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council intends to commission an independent strategic diagnostic review and transformation design for its community equipment and technology-enabled care services. The review covers Gloucestershire Equipment and Logistics Services, telecare, assistive technology and minor adaptations, as well as the associated assessment, logistics, maintenance, commissioning and support arrangements. This is health and social care service review and management consultancy work. The services concern the council’s provision across Gloucestershire; the council is based in Gloucester.

This process is at the planning stage: the council has set out its intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It expects to publish a further notice by 30 November 2026. The planned contract period runs from 1 March to 30 June 2027. The procurement is divided into one lot, with the council indicating that small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are suitable. The council plans to use a questionnaire for pre-market engagement; it expects responses by 6 November 2026 at noon. The questionnaire must be requested and returned by email to the council. No estimated contract value, budget or evaluation basis is stated.

This review is suited to independent consultancies with experience diagnosing and redesigning health, social care or community support services. Relevant capability includes understanding community equipment provision and technology-enabled care, including telecare, assistive technology and minor adaptations, and examining how assessment, logistics, maintenance, commissioning and ongoing support fit together. Suppliers able to assess service arrangements strategically and develop practical transformation designs are likely to be well placed. The council has explicitly indicated that the work is suitable for SMEs and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist practices and mission-led organisations may be relevant as well as larger consultancies. The planned market questionnaire offers interested providers a route to engage with the council’s pre-procurement planning before the later tender stage. No particular accreditation or minimum capacity is identified.
