## Summary

Torbay Council is conducting a pre-market engagement process titled "Pre-Market Engagement for Adult Social Care Innovation Engine". This initiative falls under the adult social care sector and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The current stage of procurement is planning, with an engagement end date set for 30th July 2021. The council aims to explore the availability of an Innovation Engine to facilitate transformation in adult social care, inviting potential suppliers to express their interest via the provided documentation.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the software and information systems industry, to engage with Torbay Council and inform their future procurement strategies.

By collaborating with the council, these businesses can contribute to transformative projects within the adult social care framework, potentially leading to long-term partnerships and further contracts.
