This Invitation to Tender has been prepared as part of meeting Herefordshire County Council's legal duties to make arrangements for the involvement of people in the commissioning, provision and scrutiny of health and social care services. It details a service requirement for a local Healthwatch organisation, known as "Healthwatch Herefordshire," and the subsequent discharge of its statutory duties. Healthwatch is an independent consumer champion for both health and social care. It exists locally as Healthwatch Herefordshire and nationally as Healthwatch England. The role of Healthwatch Herefordshire is to give both citizens and local communities a stronger voice to influence and challenge how health and social care services are commissioned and provided. As well as championing the collective voice, Healthwatch Herefordshire also signposts people to information, advice and independent advocacy to help them make choices about health and care services and, if necessary, signpost to appropriate complaint administrators. Healthwatch Herefordshire works locally as well as with the national Healthwatch England. The successful tenderer will be expected to operate from a local office within the county and will be expected to source and fund this office themselves. This tender is let under the "light touch" arrangements of the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR 2015) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b57e7b3e-3a0c-4336-9a07-8eb62e357d68 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Sep 2020 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jun 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Jul 2020 | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2020 - 30 Sep 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,030,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,030,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HEREFORDSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | HEREFORD | | Post town | Hereford | | Postcode | HR4 0LE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG11 Herefordshire, County of | | Local authority | Herefordshire, County of | | Electoral ward | Widemarsh | | Westminster constituency | Hereford and South Herefordshire | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HEALTHWATCH HEREFORDSHIRE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 8 Sep 2020 at 08:40 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b57e7b3e-3a0c-4336-9a07-8eb62e357d68 - 19 May 2020 at 14:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9b2797fa-bcdf-4c76-8767-4f39f860885b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b57e7b3e-3a0c-4336-9a07-8eb62e357d68 8th September 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9b2797fa-bcdf-4c76-8767-4f39f860885b 19th May 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
