Currently in the planning stage, the key deadline for engagement is set for 17 October 2018. This opportunity falls under the health and social work services category and serves the North West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with expertise in social prescribing and collaborative programme development. Businesses that are innovative and capable of establishing partnerships with local authorities will be well-positioned to compete effectively in this procurement process. Interested parties are encouraged to engage through the provided e-tendering portal and participate in the soft market testing underway. ## Notice Oldham Cares is embarking on a project to deliver and develop the social prescribing network and are now looking to appoint a partner(s) to work collaboratively with Oldham Cares innovatively to co-develop and deliver this provision across the borough of Oldham. The social prescribing network is currently being delivered in the Oldham West Cluster and in the development stages within the Oldham East Cluster. The Thriving Communities Programme is now looking to co-develop the social prescribing network further in an iterative way with all partners. It is anticipated that the successful partnership will deliver the social prescribing network in all clusters whilst developing the pathways and systems in partnership with the Oldham Cares in order to roll out the delivery across all of the clusters in the Borough. In order to identify and appoint a partner(s), the procurement will be managed by Oldham Borough Council on behalf of Oldham Cares and we will be undertaking a procurement process facilitated under the Light Touch Regime. The purpose of the soft market testing is to enable key business stakeholders to engage with suppliers operating in the Social Prescribing market in order to be better informed as to our future requirements and to help us shape our proposal for a potential formal tendering process. Additional information: Interested parties are asked to complete a Supplier Engagement Questionnaire, which can be found on the Councils e-tendering portal https://procontract.due-north.com/ under reference DN368441. Any questions should only be raised directly through this portal. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5117d412-9ce0-46dc-a7b1-ce7fc54715c5 | | 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 | 2 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 17 Oct 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 | OLDHAM COUNCIL | | Locality | OLDHAM | | Post town | Oldham | | Postcode | OL1 1DZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD37 Greater Manchester North East | | Local authority | Oldham | | Electoral ward | St Mary's | | Westminster constituency | Oldham East and Saddleworth | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 2 Oct 2018 at 09:57 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5117d412-9ce0-46dc-a7b1-ce7fc54715c5 - 1 Oct 2018 at 14:40 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5c6d85c-c756-4dcd-9f5e-ae8508262ccc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5117d412-9ce0-46dc-a7b1-ce7fc54715c5 2nd October 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5c6d85c-c756-4dcd-9f5e-ae8508262ccc 1st October 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - http://https://procontract.due-north.com/ e-tendering portal ## Notice URLs - http://www.oldham.gov.uk/ - https://procontract.due-north.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
