This initiative falls under the health and social work services sector and is primarily located in the East of England, United Kingdom. A key milestone for this procurement process is the engagement end date set for 23 February 2018. An early engagement notice was published on 9 May 2017, inviting potential providers to participate in a consultation event on 31 August 2016, held at The Orchard Community Centre in Cambridge. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the delivery of support services, particularly those specialising in direct payment assistance or comparable services. Firms with experience in health and social work, especially those that can demonstrate expertise in engaging with service users, carers, and professionals in the sector, would be well-positioned to compete. Participation in the consultation event not only allows these businesses to influence the revised service specification but also establishes their presence in the procurement process for future contracts. ## Notice **Please note the window for this opportunity has now closed** Cambridgeshire County Council will shortly be re-commissioning its Direct Payment Support Service. We are consulting widely and would like to invite providers with experience in either delivering this service or working with similar direct payment support services, to a consultation event. This will be an opportunity for providers to contribute towards shaping the revised service specification for this service. The event will be held on Wednesday 31 August 2016, 10:00 - 12:00, at The Orchard Community Centre, Central Avenue, Orchard Park, Cambridge CB4 2EZ. The event is free, but places are limited, so to book a place please complete the attached booking form and return to: Carol Williams, Adult Social Care: E-mail: carol.williams@cambridgeshire.gov.uk as soon as possible in order to confirm your place. This event will form part of the public consultation which is taking place from 21 July - 18 September 2016. A separate consultation event for service users, carers and professionals who have experience of working with the current Direct Payment Support Service is being held in September 2016. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d6c1bc3c-d461-403d-b261-99049e25c1dd | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 May 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LGSS | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB3 0AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 9 May 2017 at 15:00 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d6c1bc3c-d461-403d-b261-99049e25c1dd - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:16 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d6c1bc3c-d461-403d-b261-99049e25c1dd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d6c1bc3c-d461-403d-b261-99049e25c1dd 9th May 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/85a106a9-b62c-481c-9c71-ac7943a0131c Booking form - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a0244fea-93b6-4088-be89-c9b49c20cbb4 Booking form ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
