This initiative is at the planning stage and is seeking feedback from the market on how to best package and scope potential future contracts. Interested suppliers should submit a completed questionnaire by 12 noon on 25th February 2022, following which a virtual supplier event will be held on 1 March 2022. The Council’s address is Pegs Lane, Hertford, SG13 8DE, and the initiative is classified under health and social work services, specifically focusing on rehabilitation and counselling services. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health and social services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Organizations that specialise in rehabilitation services, guidance and counselling, and social work are particularly well-positioned to engage with the Council's PPME. By participating in this engagement, businesses can influence the future procurement approach and ensure their offerings align with the Council's expectations, ultimately leading to potential contract awards in subsequent procurement phases. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ("PPME") for a County Wide Complex Needs Service The Council is seeking input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping any future opportunity for contracts.
