The engagement invites organisations to submit their completed Supplier Questionnaire and supporting documents by 12:00 Noon on 15th July 2022. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is located in Hertford, UK (postcode SG13 8DE). Although the Council is not committing to a formal procurement process at this stage, the feedback received will be utilised to inform future decisions. This PPME represents a substantial opportunity for businesses with expertise in data science, software services, and health technology. Companies that specialise in analytical software solutions, particularly those experienced with RStudio or similar platforms, would find this engagement particularly relevant. Participation in this early-stage process could provide valuable insights, establish connections within the public health sector, and position businesses favourably for potential future procurement activities led by the Council. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement for the aforementioned.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. Further information can be found within the attached documentation. You are invited to submit a completed questionnaire by 12 noon on 15th July 2022. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ('PPME') in relation to the aforementioned. Hertfordshire County Council Public Health identified a requirement to improve analytical capacity and capability through the use of new software. This software has been packaged and deployed onto a server by a third party. This has enabled Public Health and partners to collaboratively undertake data science and analytics projects resulting in improved analytical capabilities and capacity, and better use of data. We are looking to procure a platform to host RStudio Team and a Version Control System as well as provide ongoing management of the server and software. This service will involve handling of sensitive, personal data relating to health. Due to changes in the market, it may now require multiple providers or some element of in-house support to achieve the desired outcome. These technologies have been transformational to the capacity and capabilities of the team to work on topics across the health and care system enabling collaborative and analytical working within Public Health and partner organisations including the NHS.
