This service falls under the health services category (CPV code: 85100000) and is set in the UKH23 region. Interested organisations must submit their completed Supplier Questionnaire via the In-Tend system by the deadline of 16.00 noon on Tuesday, 3rd May 2022. The Council is seeking feedback to inform the potential future procurement process, although participation in this stage does not guarantee any commitment to a formal procurement process at this time. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses that specialise in health and counselling services, particularly those offering guidance and support related to bereavement and mental health. Companies with expertise in delivering sensitive and compassionate care would be well-suited to compete for the eventual contract. The funding for this initiative includes financial support from NHS England, specifically targeting suicide prevention and postvention services, making it a valuable opportunity for organisations aiming to contribute to public health and community welfare in Hertfordshire and West Essex. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ('PPME') in relation to a Suicide Bereavement Service.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 HCC are doing PPME for a Suicide Bereavement Service.
