The initial engagement event will take place at Sivatech, Aylesbury, on 10th February 2020, with additional thematic workshops scheduled until 19th February 2020. Key dates include the engagement end date on 5th March 2020, after which the Council aims to refine their procurement processes based on feedback from these workshops. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in adult social care services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to influence the Council's procurement strategies. Companies that can provide insights into current market challenges and help shape specifications for new procurement vehicles will find significant potential for growth by establishing relationships with the Council and participating in future contracts stemming from these workshops. ## Notice We are pleased to announce registration for the new Procurement Vehicle workshops is now open. Buckinghamshire County Council, Integrated Commissioning Team would like to take this opportunity to invite your organisation to attend one of our events. The new Procurement Vehicle will transform how the Council purchases adult social care services and we are keen to hear your views.

The key points we will be covering will include: * What does the spec currently look like (in each of the different service areas) * What are the current challenges providers face when bidding for contracts * What can the Council do to streamline the procurement process for these services This is a fantastic opportunity for organisations to come and share their views; we want to understand the current market and work jointly to achieve a new procurement vehicle that works for everyone.
