## Summary

The Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is currently planning a tender titled "Information Advice and Guidance Service Market Engagement Event" within the health and social work services industry. This event is scheduled for Friday, 5th November 2021, from 11am to 12 noon, and will take place virtually via Microsoft Teams. Interested participants must confirm their attendance by emailing Nicola Mickleburgh at NicolaMickleburgh@southend.gov.uk by the engagement end date of 5th November 2021.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage with the council and potentially secure contracts for providing redesigned information, advice, and guidance services in Southend. Businesses with experience in health and social services will be particularly well-suited to compete, as the engagement event aims to inform the service model and specification, fostering collaboration between the council and service providers.

## Notice

As part of a wider engagement and consultation, we are inviting stakeholders to a virtual market engagement event held on MS Teams to inform the service model and service specification for the provision of this service. The event will take place via Microsoft Teams on Friday 5th November 2021 at 11am until 12 noon. The event will open with a presentation to outline the service and talk through the upcoming tender opportunity; this will last no more than 30 minutes. Please e-mail NicolaMickleburgh@southend.gov.uk to confirm your place, a Teams meeting invite will then be sent to all attendees.
