This process is currently in the planning stage and is classified under the health and social work services industry category. The pre-tender webinar will take place on 13th January 2017, and organisations must register their interest by emailing Catherine Logan at clogan@somerset.gov.uk. Engagement for this tender is set to conclude on 23rd February 2018. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly community groups and organisations focused on health and social care services, to engage with vulnerable populations and advocate for public interests within Somerset. Participating in the pre-tender webinar will provide insights into service requirements and the procurement process, enabling interested businesses to prepare effectively for the upcoming opportunities and contribute to enhancing local health services. ## Notice Somerset County Council (SCC) is seeking interest from organisations, including community groups, that would like to manage and co-ordinate Healthwatch Somerset. Healthwatch Somerset is the local health and social care consumer champion and as such represents all customers of these services and the general public, who may themselves be future customers. A key requirement of Healthwatch Somerset is to engage in particular with those who are vulnerable or often unheard. Healthwatch Somerset is a member of the Somerset Health and Wellbeing Board and will champion the views of all customers and the general public at a strategic level to local health and social care commissioners and providers and to Healthwatch England in order to improve services. Healthwatch will be accountable to local customers of health and social care services, the general public and SCC in terms of the performance of its role and value for money.
