The procurement focuses on health and social work services, with the engagement ending on 12th July 2021. This planning stage will allow the council to gather insights from providers regarding the design of a potential framework agreement, with all submissions to be made via eastmidstenders.org, where a questionnaire response form will be required. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in health and social care services, particularly those focusing on elderly care solutions, to influence the development of this vital framework. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would particularly benefit from participating, as their insights are sought to enhance service specifications that will ultimately support the independence of older people in the East Midlands. Engaging with this pre-market exercise could lead to potential contracts and growth in this evolving sector. ## Notice A soft market testing exercise to canvas ideas and independent views on the potential shape and model of an Ageing Well Care Homes Framework Agreement. As a result of our local strategy to keep people in their own homes, fewer older people will be living in care homes. They will be supported in their own homes, or in supported accommodation such as Extra Care. Where a care home is deemed appropriate, older people will be supported to maintain their independence and to be a part of their community. The desired outcome of this exercise is for commissioners to obtain information and insight from Providers of this type of service provision in shaping the new contract/service specification. All information gathered from the Soft Market Testing will be carefully considered and analysed by the Commissioners. All Providers' responses will be anonymised and not shared with competitors for these services. Written submissions are requested from interested Providers in the form of a completed questionnaire. Responses should be made using the 'Questionnaire Response Form' and must be submitted via eastmidstenders.org Additional information: Further information for project reference DN549817 is available from www.eastmidstenders.org ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/18acef5a-def9-4dea-91dc-b4479a3cfeb0 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Jul 2021 | | 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 | NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 7QP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF16 South Nottinghamshire | | Local authority | Rushcliffe | | Electoral ward | Trent Bridge | | Westminster constituency | Rushcliffe | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 14 Jun 2021 at 14:58 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/18acef5a-def9-4dea-91dc-b4479a3cfeb0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/18acef5a-def9-4dea-91dc-b4479a3cfeb0 14th June 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - http://eastmidstenders,org Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
