## Summary

The Suffolk County Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the "Home First scheduling system market engagement survey." This initiative aims to gather insights for a software platform that supports the in-house reablement service, linking with a mobile app for remote access by support workers. The procurement falls under the software package and information systems category (CPV 48000000). Interested parties are encouraged to complete a questionnaire by 23rd August 2021 to assist in the market engagement exercise. This tender is based in the East of England and reflects the council's commitment to enhancing its service delivery through well-integrated technology solutions.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software development, specifically those with experience in scheduling, monitoring, and reporting systems. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate, as the council seeks to foster engagement with a diverse range of providers. Companies that can demonstrate the ability to develop user-friendly interfaces and mobile applications would be in a strong position to compete for this contract, supporting Suffolk County Council in improving its Home First service.
