## Summary

The Hertfordshire County Council is conducting a Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) titled "HCC - 07/21 - Pre-Procurement Market Engagement for the Reduction of the DoLS Assessment Backlog in preparation for LPS (Liberty Protection Safeguards)." This initiative is classified under health and social work services and is located in Hertford, UK. Currently, the procurement is at the planning stage, with completed Supplier Questionnaires required by 12.00 Noon on 6th August 2021. Participation in this engagement is encouraged to provide feedback that will inform future procurement decisions, although it does not represent a formal commitment by the Council to proceed with a procurement process.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses involved in health and social services, particularly those skilled in managing assessments and compliance within the social care framework. Firms that specialise in service delivery or consultancy within health and social work, especially in relation to deprivation of liberty safeguards, would be ideally positioned to compete. Engaging in this PPME allows potential suppliers to shape the future procurement landscape while preparing themselves for subsequent formal tendering opportunities.
