Interested organisations are invited to participate by submitting a completed Provider Questionnaire through the In-Tend system by the deadline of May 22, 2023. The contract period is scheduled to start on May 24, 2023, and end on May 25, 2023. The procurement process is currently in the PPME stage, focusing on services in the East of England, United Kingdom. This tender opportunity by Hertfordshire County Council can benefit businesses operating in the social work and related services industry. Small and medium-sized businesses with expertise in care provision would be well-suited to compete. The engagement aims to gather feedback to inform future procurement decisions, providing an opportunity for service providers to showcase their capabilities. Although participation in the PPME does not guarantee a future procurement process, it allows organisations to demonstrate their interest and readiness to potentially secure contracts in the sector. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out PPME in relation to the provision of Extra Care Providers. The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council's options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council. To access the PPME documentation please visit www.supplyhertfordshire.uk and follow the on-screen guidance. To participate in this PPME, organisations must submit their completed Provider Questionnaire, together with any supporting documents, through the In-Tend system by the return deadline stated in the PPME documentation and the In-Tend system. Provider Questionnaires cannot be uploaded after the closing date/time. Please make sure that you have submitted your Provider Questionnaire following the instructions within the PPME documentation and the In-Tend system. The Council will not be held accountable for any errors made by an organisation in submitting their Provider Questionnaire. If you are experiencing problems with Supply Hertfordshire, In-Tend (which hosts the Supply Hertfordshire eTendering system) offer a help section which includes a dedicated UK Support Desk which can be contacted via email support@in-tend.co.uk or telephone +44 (0)114 407 0065 for any website / technical questions Monday to Friday 8:30am - 5:00pm. Additional information: The Council is carrying out PPME and interested organisations are invited to submit a completed questionnaire by the return deadline stated in the PPME documentation and the In-Tend system.

Please note there is no contract start and end date at present as this is PPME and is yet to be decided, so please ignore the dates above.
