The project is classified under construction works and aims to identify partners for designing, building, owning, and managing Extra Care schemes within Leicester. The soft market test is part of the planning stage, with a completed questionnaire deadline set for 14:00 hours on 7 December 2021. An online market engagement event is also scheduled for 13 January 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the construction, health, and social care sectors, to engage in a collaborative scheme aimed at supporting vulnerable populations. Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) and consortia arrangements will find this opportunity especially beneficial, as it encourages potential partners to express their interests and insights regarding the project's model and specifications. Engaging in this soft market testing can position businesses favourably for future competitive bidding processes anticipated later in 2022. ## Notice THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION Leicester City Council is considering selecting a partner to design, build, own and manage an Extra Care (Enhanced Independent Living) scheme within the Leicester City area on two sites. As part of the commissioning process, the Authority is undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) or Consortia arrangements and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential model and specification principles. The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop the specification. To participate in this Soft Market Testing, organisations that may be interested, either individually or as part of a consortium, must complete a Soft Market Testing questionnaire. The questionnaire can be found by copying and pasting the following web link into your web browser: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=bde9a642-4541-ec11-810e-005056b64545 Further to this soft market test, the commissioners of this project are keen to hold an Online Market Engagement Event. The Online Market Engagement Event is being held on Thursday 13th January 2022 commencing at 10.00 a.m. and is anticipated to end at 12.00 p.m. The event will be conducted online via Microsoft Teams. Please refer to section 4.1. of the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire for further details including how to book a place at the event. ### Lot Information Lot 1 In addition to the II.1.4 Short Description, please note the following: The two Extra Care (Enhanced Independent Living) Schemes will provide accommodation for a range of vulnerable people aged 18+ including people with learning disabilities, people with mental health need and people with physical or sensory disabilities, older people and people with dementia. It is anticipated, dependent upon this engagement exercise, that tenders for this project would be sought during 2022, to enable contract award later in 2022. This Prior Information Notice is regarding undertaking a Soft Market Test and therefore is not a call for competition. This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The Authority is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this. There are therefore no formal criteria which we will use to review responses and it is not our intention to provide any feedback. Any response or failure to respond to this soft market test will not prejudice or influence the assessment of potential bidders should a competitive bidding process later result. To participate in this Soft Market Testing, organisations that may be interested, either individually or as part of a consortium, must complete a Soft Market Testing questionnaire. The questionnaire can be found by copying and pasting the following web link into your web browser: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=bde9a642-4541-ec11-810e-005056b64545 Please refer to section 4.1. of the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire for further details of the Online Market Engagement Event including how to book a place at the event.
