This initiative serves as a gateway for residents to access various services across Hertfordshire. The PPME stage is intended to gather feedback to help inform the Council's decisions and options, without committing to a formal procurement process at this point. The future notice date for potential procurement activities is set for 24th August 2022. This tender by Hertfordshire County Council for the HertsHelp service presents an opportunity for businesses operating in the administration, community services, and social work sectors. As the Council seeks engagement from suppliers to shape future procurement activities, businesses providing related services are encouraged to participate in the PPME stage to potentially position themselves for future contracting opportunities. Given the nature of the service and the Council's regional authority classification, businesses offering collaborative and sector-specific solutions are well-suited to compete in this initiative. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ('PPME') for the HertsHelp telephone information and advice helpline service which acts as a gateway for all Hertfordshire residents to access voluntary sector services, community based health and social care services across Hertfordshire.The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council's options and further decision making.
