This initiative falls under the miscellaneous health services industry category, specifically designed to engage in market research regarding improvements in the homecare commissioning model. The procurement process is valued at £5,000,000 and is focused on the Peterborough and surrounding areas in the UK. The current homecare contract, which began on 2nd September 2018, will run until 1st September 2022 with a potential extension of up to seven years. The council's communication on this tender indicates that market engagement activities are ongoing, with a future notice expected on the same day of this report. This soft market test presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the health services sector, especially those specialising in homecare solutions. Companies looking to enhance their service offerings or those with innovative approaches to commissioning models would be particularly well-suited to engage with this process. While this exercise is not a formal invitation to tender, participation in the market engagement can position businesses favourably for future procurement opportunities, allowing them to influence the direction of the commissioning model in advance of a potential tender process. ## Notice The current homecare commissioning model in PCC operates under a closed framework.
