This event is part of the planning stage of the procurement process and is scheduled for 5th August 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The engagement end date is set for 4th August 2022 at 23:59:59. The service aims to ensure stakeholder involvement in the planning and design of support services for adults requiring social care, with the aim to publish tenders in October 2022 and commence the new contract on 1st July 2023. This market engagement event presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in social care and community services, particularly SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Organisations that can demonstrate expertise in participatory service models and have experience in the health and social care sector would be especially well-positioned to compete for the forthcoming tender. Participation in the engagement event will allow potential providers to contribute insights and establish connections with Leicester City Council, facilitating business growth through collaboration and future contract opportunities. ## Notice THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ONLINE MARKET ENGAGEMENT EVENT Leicester City Council is considering commissioning a Participation Service, which will help us to ensure that people drawing on the support of our Adult Social Care services are equal partners and that their lived experiences are a primary consideration when we are planning and designing the support and services that are needed. It is anticipated that tenders for the Participation Service will be published in October 2022, with the new contract ready to start with effect from 01/07/2023. As part of the commissioning process for the Participation Service, the commissioners of this service are keen to hold an Online Market Engagement Event. The Online Market Engagement Event is being held on Friday 5th August commencing at 10.00 a.m. and is anticipated to end at 11.30 a.m. The event will be conducted online via Microsoft Teams. The event will give potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential service. The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop the specification.
