Currently at the planning stage, this early engagement aims to inform potential providers about the Authority's intentions concerning the delivery of Independent Living Services (ILS) in Ely, East Cambridgeshire. The engagement ends on 3rd May 2022, with a live event scheduled for 10th May 2022 to discuss feedback and project details. The procurement is expected to follow an Open Procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, with an Invitation to Tender (ITT) anticipated for release in Summer 2022. This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in services for older adults and vulnerable populations. Registered social landlords, care homes, domiciliary care agencies, extra care, and nursing providers would benefit significantly from participating in this procurement. The Authority encourages early engagement to shape the tender documents, making it an excellent chance for companies to influence the procurement process and establish valuable partnerships in delivering vital community services. ## Notice Please note this is not a call for competition but a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to advise prospective providers of the Authority's current intentions. As part of this PIN the Authority is releasing a pre-recorded webinar (see below for further details) regarding the Independent Living Services (ILS) - for Registered Social Landlords, Care Homes, Domiciliary Care, Extra Care, and Nursing Provider Markets. Independent Living Services (ILS) are a new model of housing-with-care services primarily for older people but not exclusively older people. Access to an ILS will be based on need and not on age. This intended procurement process is for the delivery of ILS in Ely in East Cambridgeshire. The Authority is at the late pre-market stage and is seeking to update the market on the project and seeking feedback. We believe that providers' input into design work is an important part of the process prior to any formal procurement. The Authority has a pre-recorded webinar that provides an update in relation to the Independent Living Service project and the current strategy for the future procurement process. As part of this engagement we are providing a Microsoft Forms Questionnaire to complete by no later than 12:00pm on Tuesday 3rd May 2022.

Following the live event the Authority may share the draft specifications for market feedback for those that respond to the questionnaire.
