This stage involves seeking advice and opinions from the market to aid decision-making before the formal procurement process. The PPME document outlines the requirement, questionnaire, and details of the Open Day. The procurement method is an open procedure (below threshold), with a tender period ending on September 25, 2023, and a contract period from September 26 to October 31, 2023. The services fall under the Social work and related services category, with the main procurement stage being the PPME stage. Participation in this opportunity can benefit businesses by providing insights into the upcoming procurement process for Dementia Community Support Services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender particularly suitable. The Hertfordshire location and the focus on social work and related services create opportunities for businesses in these sectors to engage with the Council. By actively participating in the PPME, businesses can position themselves well for potential future contracts in these service areas. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out PPME in relation to Dementia Community Support. The Council is seeking advice and opinions from the market to help with the decision-making process ahead of the forthcoming procurement of these services. The Council will consider any feedback received to help inform the Council's options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Further details are in the PPME document, including an overview of the requirement, questionnaire to be completed and returned and details of the Open Day (PPME Workshop). Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council.
