This is a key initiative under the health and social work services category, located in Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom. The engagement phase aims to gather insights and feedback from potential service providers ahead of a contract that is due to be re-tendered in 2020, with the anticipated start date for the new contract set for 1st April 2021, lasting for an initial period of five years. Interested organisations must submit their completed Provider PIN Questionnaire through the In-Tend portal by the deadline of 12:00 noon on 31st December 2019. This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those with experience in providing short-stay accommodation or support services for homeless populations.

Engaging in this pre-procurement process is an excellent way for future providers to influence the service requirements while positioning themselves competitively for the forthcoming contract. ## Notice This is a Pre-procurement market engagement process for the council's homeless hostel service at The Elms.
