Currently in the planning stage, this tender aims to gather insights through market engagement events scheduled for 27th April 2021, and it involves delivering support services for various cohorts, including young adults, individuals with learning disabilities, and older people. Interested participants must register by 23rd April 2021 to attend the initial event held online via Microsoft Teams and should regularly check for updates on the formal procurement notice to be published in due course. This procurement process presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with expertise in providing outreach support and tailored services for vulnerable groups. Companies that work with younger populations, individuals with disabilities, and elderly care providers would be particularly suited to engage in this tender. By participating in the market engagement events, potential bidders can influence the final procurement structure and gain valuable insights into service requirements, enhancing their ability to compete effectively. ## Notice In preparation for a forthcoming procurement opportunity, Essex County Council would like to invite organisations to participate in a series of market engagement events in relation to the delivery of day opportunities to support individuals within the following cohorts: * Transitions (16 - 25 year olds) * Learning Disabilities and/or Autism * Physical and Sensory Impairments * Older People * Carers respite Please note that the aforementioned cohorts are likely to present with a range of social care needs and there may be a degree of overlap in the requisite support to meet their assessed social care needs and individual outcomes. The Council intends to structure the corresponding procurement opportunity in lots which are aligned to the support options for these cohorts. However, the Council reserves the right to refine the scope of this procurement following the market engagement events for this project. The final scope of the procurement including the use of lots will be published in the corresponding Contract Notice prior to the formal launch of this procurement opportunity. Prospective providers are invited to attend the initial market engagement session for this project which is scheduled to take place on Thursday 27th April between 10:00 and 11:00 and will be conducted online via Microsoft Teams. During this event, the Council will present an overview of the commissioning strategic vision for day opportunities provision in Essex including insight from the current provision alongside feedback from clients and current providers regarding the opportunities and challenges of utilising outreach support during the emergency phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss their ideas, views and suggestions for this service with commissioners and members of the project board.
