## Summary

Leicester City Council is initiating a public procurement process titled "Pre Market Engagement - Healthy Conversations Application", aimed at exploring solutions for the Healthy Conversations programme which operates across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. The procurement, currently in the planning stage, focuses on internet services and involves market engagement activities set to conclude by 12 February 2020. The buying organisation is located at Bosworth House, 9-15 Princess Road West, Leicester, with contact person Rebecca Cowan available via email at rebecca.cowan@leicester.gov.uk.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in app development, particularly those with expertise in health-related digital solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage, as the request seeks innovative applications that support staff in accessing local health information and facilitating referrals. Companies that can deliver user-friendly, efficient applications tailored to the healthcare sector will find this opportunity particularly advantageous for growth and collaboration with a local authority.

## Notice

Leicester City Council is considering options to support the signposting and referral pathways component to the Healthy Conversations programme (otherwise known as Making Every Contact Count Plus) being delivered across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. This programme aims to provide staff with training and skills to improve their competence and confidence to raise conversations around health, wellbeing and encourage positive behaviour changes. We are looking for an app based solution that allows staff to access local health information and allows them to signpost or refer 'service users' on to the correct support. The app must therefore also be easy and quick for staff to navigate. We are interested in understanding the market to see if the requirements outlined in section 3 can be met. The Council are keen to seek market information from organisations that may have an interest or expertise in operating app systems for this purpose. The information provided will be useful in helping inform and shape solutions to our requirements.
