The engagement aims to gather market input on future contract opportunities. Interested parties are invited to submit a completed questionnaire by 1st August 2023. The tender is currently in the open stage, with a tender period ending on 1st August 2023 and a contract period from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2027. This procurement process by Hertfordshire County Council presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Businesses in the services sector, particularly those offering health and social work services, would be well-suited to compete. The open procedure below threshold allows for broader participation, giving businesses a chance to contribute valuable insights and potentially secure future contracts with the Council. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ("PPME") for the provision of User Voice 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.
