## Summary

The Hertfordshire County Council is currently planning the Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) for the provision of Overnight Short Breaks services. This process is aimed at gathering feedback from potential suppliers to inform future decisions regarding these services. The PPME requires organisations to submit a completed Supplier Questionnaire by 12:00 Noon on 14th May 2021. The engagement is classified under the health and social work services category, and it will take place in Hertfordshire, UK. Participation in this PPME is not part of a formal procurement process, and suppliers may express their interest via the In-Tend system.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in health and social care to engage with Hertfordshire County Council and potentially deliver overnight short break services that support families. Companies offering care services, community support programmes, or specialised care for children may find this engagement particularly relevant. By participating in this preliminary stage, businesses can understand the Council's requirements and tailor their services accordingly for future formal procurement opportunities.

## Notice

Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement in relation to Overnight Short Breaks. The Council will consider the 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 supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier 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

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Overnight Short Breaks (OSB) Service provides a break for parents and carers, whilst their children stay, for a short amount of time, in a safe and suitable setting. Having access to this support has important benefits for both carers and their children, helping the carer continue to care for their child and providing the child with a change from daily routine and an opportunity to develop new skills, stay away from home without their parents and mix with their peers.
