The procurement stage is in the PPME phase, and interested organisations must submit completed questionnaires by the set deadline. The tender period ends on March 9, 2023. The contract period is scheduled to start on March 16, 2023, and end on March 17, 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure below the threshold. The industry category for this opportunity is health and social work services. This tender by the Hertfordshire County Council presents an opportunity for businesses interested in providing social work services without accommodation, community health services, and welfare services for children and young people. Businesses in the health and social work services sector, particularly those focused on children's care and support services, would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. Interested parties can access the PPME documentation on www.supplyhertfordshire.uk and submit their Provider Questionnaires via the In-Tend system. The Council emphasizes that the PPME does not guarantee participation in any future procurement process, and expenses incurred during the PPME will not be reimbursed. For further information or technical assistance, organizations can contact the dedicated UK Support Desk provided by In-Tend. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out PPME in relation to the provision of Hertfordshire Children's Domiciliary Personal and Community Enabling Care Service. The Council will consider the 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. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process. 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. To access the PPME documentation please visit www.supplyhertfordshire.uk and follow the on-screen guidance. To participate in this PPME, organisations must submit their completed Provider Questionnaire, together with any supporting documents, through the In-Tend system by the return deadline stated in the PPME documentation and the In-Tend system. Provider Questionnaires cannot be uploaded after the closing date/time. Please make sure that you have submitted your Provider Questionnaire following the instructions within the PPME documentation and the In-Tend system. The Council will not be held accountable for any errors made by an organisation in submitting their Provider Questionnaire. If you are experiencing problems with Supply Hertfordshire, In-Tend (which hosts the Supply Hertfordshire eTendering system) offer a help section which includes a dedicated UK Support Desk which can be contacted via email support@in-tend.co.uk or telephone +44 (0)114 407 0065 for any website / technical questions Monday to Friday 8:30am - 5:00pm.
