## Notice

Shropshire Council would like to take the opportunity to engage with potential providers and/or partners in the future commissioning of our short breaks services. Please note that the purpose of this process is for the council to discuss with the market and inform our current understanding of key issues and themes relating to the provision of these services and to discuss what the market has to offer to assist the Council to deliver the services from 1st April 2025. Please note that this is not the commencement of any formal procurement process, and the Council is not committed to carrying out such a process. For the avoidance of doubt no information provided in response to this process will be used by the Council in assessing providers during any subsequent procurement process. This early market engagement exercise is intended to allow providers to outline their views and to provide information to the Council decision making process. The Council will consider the information received as a result of this exercise to help inform the Council's options appraisal and subsequent Council decision making process
