## Summary

The Nottinghamshire County Council is planning a tender process for the Pre-Market Engagement Community Directory within the software and IT services industry category. The engagement end date is set for 16th February 2024. The tender aims to enhance the existing online directory to meet various statutory requirements and provide a comprehensive platform for social care, health, and wellbeing services.

This tender by the Nottinghamshire County Council presents an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs in the software and IT services sector to contribute to the development of a crucial community directory. Businesses with expertise in software development, consulting, and Internet services would be suited to compete in this tender process. Engaging in this opportunity can lead to potential business growth and meaningful contributions to public service delivery.

## Notice

Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) is undertaking a soft market testing exercise to build understanding of the market and improve and capture views on specific aspects of the future requirements for a Community Directory. Initially, a response to the Care Act 2014 requirement to support people to find information, support and services in their area including those provided by the voluntary sector, the website provides people and professionals with a directory of services on social care, health and wellbeing. The site now also fulfils statutory requirements under the Children's and Families Act 2014, The Childcare Act 2006 and The Accessible Information Standard 2015 by operating as the digital directory for the SEND Local Offer, the Local Offer for Care Leavers, the Virtual Family Hub and information from Ofsted on all registered childcare provision.
