        "description": "THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION Leicester City Council (the Authority) and the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB) are recommissioning their Home Care Services, for the population of Leicester. As part of the commissioning process, the Commissioners would like to undertake a soft market test. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views. The Commissioners will use the information to appraise options and develop the Service model. To participate in this Soft Market Testing, for organisations that may be interested, either individually or as part of a consortium, please complete the Soft Market Testing questionnaire. The questionnaire can be found by copying and pasting the following the web link into your web browser: https://forms.office.com/r/hHkaGhkSbB Commissioners would also like to invite the views of Home Care provider staff. For Home Care provider staff that may be interested, please complete the Home Care provider staff questionnaire. The questionnaire can be found by copying and pasting the following the web link into your web browser: https://forms.office.com/r/zPv3Lx1BVp Home Care Providers are encouraged to pass on the above link to their members of staff who would like to participate. The questionnaires must be completed and submitted before or no later than 17:00 hours on 18th November 2023. Should you experience any technical issues accessing or completing the questionnaire, please email procurement-asc@leicester.gov.uk for assistance. This advert is regarding undertaking a Soft Market Test and therefore is not a call for competition. This process does not constitute a formal Tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The Commissioners are using this process solely to test the market to gather information. There are therefore no formal criteria which Commissioners will use to judge your responses, and it is not our intention to provide any feedback. Please be aware that we are subject to the disclosure requirements of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and that potentially any information we hold is liable to disclosure under that Act.",
