The purpose is to advise suppliers of the forthcoming Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) procurement exercise that is expected to be launched February 2026. The aim is to seek feedback from potential bidders and existing providers that may inform the final approach to the procurement. The Preliminary Market Engagement Event will be held via Microsoft Teams between 10:00 - 12:00 on Tuesday 13th January 2026. We will then be seeking feedback via a Q&A doc which will be issued following the live PME. If you are interested in this opportunity please email ccsinbox@dhsc.gov.uk referencing 'W213158 National SRbPA Support Scheme' as the subject title. If your organisation is unable to attend the PME event, we would nevertheless welcome any feedback which you may wish to provide. Please be assured that non-attendance at the event does not affect your eligibility to participate in future procurement opportunities related to this PME. Your input is valued and you remain eligible to bid for subsequent procurements associated with this engagement. For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a call for competition and DHSC are under no obligation to proceed with any formal procurement procedure.
