This procurement process aims to explore market interest in delivering health visiting services for children aged 0 to 5 years across the London Boroughs of Wandsworth and Richmond upon Thames. The engagement end date for this exercise is set for 23 February 2018, and interested providers had prior submission deadlines for questions and completed questionnaires in August and September 2016. The procurement method is identified as a soft market testing exercise, which is a preliminary step to assess provider interest and service specifications without formal commitment to a contract. This soft market testing exercise presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in health services, particularly those focused on early childhood care and health improvement. Providers, including both established firms and new entrants in the health sector, are encouraged to participate in this voluntary engagement to showcase their capabilities and influence future service designs. Engaging in this process can enhance visibility and open doors for contract opportunities within the public health domain, offering a chance to contribute positively to community health outcomes for young children. ## Notice The London Boroughs of Wandsworth and Richmond upon Thames are seeking suitably qualified providers to participate in a soft market testing exercise relating to the delivery of 0 - 5 years Health Visiting Service across both boroughs. The purpose of this soft market testing exercise is to determine whether or not there is sufficient interest in the marketplace for the delivery of a 0 - 5 years Health Visiting Service from existing, as well as new providers, to inform future commissioning intentions and the development/refinement of the service specification. The Councils are also keen to explore ways which can improve health outcomes for those aged between 0 - 5 years and the cost effectiveness of the service. This exercise is not a formal tendering process. Participation in this exercise is completely voluntary and submitting, or not submitting a response, would not preclude you from any further procurement activity.
