## Summary

North Lincolnshire Council is initiating a Pre Market Consultation for the HomeFirst Rostering System, aimed at assessing available systems to meet evolving homecare requirements. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 8 March 2021. The contract is classified under IT services (CPV code 72000000) and will address the needs of short-term rehabilitation services, contrasting with the long-term focus of the previous system. The location for delivery is within the Yorkshire and Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement opportunity presents significant prospects for businesses engaged in IT services, particularly those specialising in consulting, software development, and support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as their innovative solutions may align well with the council's requirements. Companies that can demonstrate capabilities in developing technology for short-term care services will have a competitive advantage in this tendering process.

## Notice

Our current Homecare Rostering System is no longer being developed. We would like to test the market to see what systems are available that meet our current and future requirements. Our requirements and technology have changed dramatically since we last completed a procurement. We would like to see what progress has been made with systems to support short term rehabilitation service as our current system is intended to be used for long term and not short-term services. By sending out the PMC we will be able to assess systems available and the optimum duration of a contract that will be required to meet our needs as listed in this document.
