This stage is not part of a formal procurement process but aims to gather feedback for future decision making. Interested providers can participate in a survey until 31 August 2023 to inform service modelling and procurement approach. There will be a Provider Event on 12 September 2023, with a second event planned in early December. The procurement method is an Open procedure, with a tender period ending on 31 December 2023 and contract period starting on 1 January 2024. This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs in the health and social work services sector, particularly those offering welfare services for the handicapped, social work services, and social work services with accommodation. Businesses interested in providing Supported Living Services should engage in the PPME process to stay informed and potentially participate in the future procurement. The engagement activities aim to ensure a fair and transparent procurement process that does not disadvantage any provider. Providers are encouraged to attend events and share feedback to help shape the final tender process. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out PPME in relation to a market wide framework agreement for Supported Living Services. The Council will consider any feedback received to help inform the Council's options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council. To access the PPME documentation please visit www.supplyhertfordshire.uk and follow the on-screen guidance. For the opportunity to provide feedback via a survey in preparation for the procurement until 5 September 2023. Information from the survey will inform the service modelling and the procurement approach. Any queries from the survey will be addressed at the Provider event.
