## Summary

The Bi-Borough, comprising Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, is initiating a planning process titled "Developing Personalised Markets In the Bi-Borough." This procurement effort falls within the health and social work services industry and is set in London, United Kingdom. Key activities include a series of workshops aimed at local care providers to foster a diverse service market and enhance residents' choices. The engagement end date is scheduled for 22nd February 2019, with workshop sessions taking place on 15th and 22nd February 2019, respectively.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the health and social care sectors. Companies that can offer innovative solutions, diverse service options, or digital developments related to care services will be particularly well-suited to engage in this evolving market. Participation in the workshops could allow these businesses to connect with local authorities and other service providers, helping them to understand the challenges and barriers within the market while devising supportive strategies for future procurement exercises.

## Notice

The Bi-Borough (Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea) is undertaking work to understand local care and support markets. This includes existing and potential social care providers. Our aim is to stimulate a diverse range of services, to ensure that residents (including current service users and their carers) have choice and control over how their needs are met. The Bi-Borough is also investing into digital developments, including an e-marketplace and self-service tools to transform and modernise the way that social care works with our residents and providers. It is the councils' ambition to have a range of services funded in different ways. This includes contracted services, self-funded arrangements and services funded via direct payments, whereby service users can buy what they really need with their own care budget, rather than have it purchased for them. With this shift, we want to host a series of workshops with existing and potential providers to understand: - What is out there - What the risks are - How the Bi-Borough can help mitigate these risks and provide support to providers to avoid unintended consequences - What the barriers are to entering the market Providers please note: - The workshops are part of preliminary consultation to promote choice and control for residents. - This notice is not a call for competition. For avoidance of doubt, this does not formally signify the beginning of a procurement exercise and does not constitute any commitment by the councils to undertake any procurement exercise. - Participation in these workshops will not include or preclude any organisation from participating in any future formal procurement exercise. - Participation in these workshops by providers should not give rise to expectation that their organisation will have an agreement to make service offers to residents. - The councils will not reimburse providers for any expenses incurred for participating in these workshops. The aim of these workshops will be to build a plan together that ensures the market is built-up and supported. Spaces are limited to two per organisation.
