This service aims to enhance mental health wellbeing and recovery in the communities of Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland (LLR). The engagement period ends on 24th November 2021, with tenders set to be sought in February 2022, allowing for new contracts to commence from October 2022. The services classified under Health and Social Work (CPV: 85000000) are open to delivery addresses within England, and the council welcomes participation from both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on health and community services, particularly those offering mental health support and recovery solutions. Organisations capable of providing advice, information, and navigation services within local communities may find this tender particularly aligned with their offerings. Entrepreneurs and service providers should seize the chance to engage with the council during this soft market testing phase to express interest and share their insights, thereby positioning themselves favourably for potential future procurement opportunities. ## Notice Leicester City Council is seeking to co-commission the Mental Health Wellbeing and Recovery Support Service (MHWRSS) across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) which aims to build mental health wellbeing and recovery within local communities through the provision of advice, information, navigation and community recovery services. Current contracts for existing services end in September 2022 and it is anticipated that tenders for the MHWRSS arrangements will be sought in February 2022 to enable new contracts to begin from October 2022. As part of the commissioning process, the Council is undertaking soft market testing. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the commissioning proposals. This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The Council is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular Service. There are therefore no formal criteria which will be used to judge your responses, and it is not our intention to provide any feedback. We would encourage you to respond if you feel this is something your organisation may have an interest in. If you would like to participate in this Soft Market Testing, then please copy and paste the following web link https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=1f3e2f64-7d3c-ec11-810e-005056b64545&fromProjectDashboard=True and complete the Soft Market Testing questionnaire located in the attachments section and then email your completed questionnaire to the email address procurement-asc@leicester.gov.uk with the subject heading: ''Completed SMT Q - MHWRSS' before or by no later than 14:00 hours 24th November 2021. Please note this is not a call for competition. The Council welcomes the opportunity to engage with and appreciate your assistance in providing us with your views. However you should note that in any subsequent procurement exercise the Council will have to comply with our legal obligations and that neither the intention nor the purpose of this soft market testing exercise is to confer any advantage upon its participation in any future procurement process. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/36387182-0938-457f-afed-bad4d977ed2a | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 24 Nov 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE1 1FZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF21 Leicester | | Local authority | Leicester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Leicester South | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 3 Nov 2021 at 09:13 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/36387182-0938-457f-afed-bad4d977ed2a - 3 Nov 2021 at 09:05 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e902945e-d284-43cb-900c-27884483d11b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/36387182-0938-457f-afed-bad4d977ed2a 3rd November 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e902945e-d284-43cb-900c-27884483d11b 3rd November 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.leicester.gov.uk - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=1f3e2f64-7d3c-ec11-810e-005056b64545&fromProjectDashboard=True ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
