The event is scheduled for Thursday, 6th August 2020, from 10:00 to 11:00 on Microsoft Teams, with an engagement end date set for 5th August 2020. This opportunity falls under the health and social work services industry category, and businesses interested in participating should register by emailing Kasey Burke at kaseyburke@southend.gov.uk for attendance confirmation and individual meeting requests. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for suitably experienced suppliers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage with the Southend-on-Sea Borough Council. By getting involved in this virtual market engagement, businesses can influence the service model and specifications that will govern future contracts. Furthermore, the ability to meet individually with council representatives during the event can provide crucial insights and networking opportunities that can help strengthen their bids in the upcoming tender process. ## Notice Southend-on-Sea Borough Council will shortly be seeking tenders from suitably experienced and qualified suppliers for the provision of a Sexual Health Service in Southend. As part of a wider engagement and consultation, we are inviting stakeholders to a virtual market engagement event held on MS Teams to inform the service model and service specification for the provision of this service. The event will open with a presentation to outline the service and talk through the upcoming tender opportunity; this will last no more than one hour. Following this presentation there will be an opportunity for your organisation to meet individually with Council team members to discuss the opportunity. This will be by invitation only, please confirm if you would like to meet individually and you will then be allocated a 10 minute time slot. Date Thursday 6th August 2020 Time 10:00 - 11:00 followed by bookable 10 minute time slot Venue Microsoft Teams Please e-mail kaseyburke@southend.gov.uk to confirm your place, and if you require an individual meeting.
