As part of the process, the commissioner is looking to hold a market engagement event in order to consult with the market on the composition of the specification and the proposed terms of any new contract. It is also the commissioner's intention to gauge the number of providers interested in delivering the service. The event will enable the market to gain insight into the proposed procurement methodology and provide an opportunity for providers to raise questions with the commissioners. As part of the engagement process, the commissioner is making the service specification available for providers in advance of the engagement event, and this is attached to this advert. Providers are asked, when booking a place on the event, to answer a short survey which the commissioner has compiled so that the commissioner can gauge the market's views prior to the event. The results of this survey will be shared as appropriate at the market engagement event. The responses will also enable the commissioners to plan the event appropriately so it addresses any queries providers may have. Providers will also be able to raise any queries they may have in advance of the event. These will then be shared with the market as appropriate, in the form of an FAQ, at the event. Input gained from the market as part of the market engagement process will be used to inform the final service specification. Providers can book their place, respond to the survey and raise any queries via Eventbrite.
