This initiative falls under the health and social work services category, specifically aimed at the supported living sector. The engagement period is set to conclude on 26th April 2022. This process is designed to gather insights from potential providers regarding the remaining services after the previous contracts have been fully utilised, which ended on 31st March 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with expertise in delivering supported living services would be well-suited to engage with the council, showcasing innovative ideas and solutions to inform the future commissioning strategy. By participating in this market engagement, businesses can establish valuable connections and enhance their chances of securing contracts with the council moving forward. ## Notice A contract was issued following an open-market tender for six supported living services in the Peterborough area. The contract date was from the 01/04/2017 until the 31/03/2020 with 2 optional 1-year extensions. Both extensions have now been utilised and the service is due to end 31st March 2022 and one of the services has since closed. PCC needs to understand the current market and future options for the remaining 5 services. Potential providers are invited to respond to the questions concerning the proposed service to be procured. Responses to these questions may be used to inform our commissioning approach to the tender exercise. In order to make an informed decision on the optimum procurement approach we are looking to the market to assist. Please note that this is not a call for competition, neither is it a procurement exercise but an opportunity for Peterborough City Council to better understand the supply market and for providers to showcase their ideas. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0ce7fe6-f95d-41d7-aded-3522733d2dfa | | 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 | 26 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 26 Apr 2022 | | 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 | PETERBOROUGH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | PETERBOROUGH | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE2 8TY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH41 Peterborough | | Local authority | Peterborough | | Electoral ward | Fletton and Stanground | | Westminster constituency | North West Cambridgeshire | | 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 ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 26 Jan 2022 at 14:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0ce7fe6-f95d-41d7-aded-3522733d2dfa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0ce7fe6-f95d-41d7-aded-3522733d2dfa 26th January 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=f647bf28-b17e-ec11-8110-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/business/supplying-the-council/supply-opportunities ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
