The PPME aims to gather feedback to inform the Council's decisions, without committing to a formal procurement process at this stage. Interested parties must return the supplier questionnaire by 20th November 2023. The PPME is specifically focused on social work and related services, within the UKH23 region. The buying organization is the Hertfordshire County Council, which can be contacted through the Strategic Procurement Group via telephone at +44 01707292601 or email at anita.shipman@hertfordshire.gov.uk. This opportunity can benefit businesses in the social work sector looking to provide Dementia Community Support Services. Companies offering services such as post diagnostic support, dementia information and support, and nursing services may find this tender suitable. As the procurement process is currently in the planning stage, it allows interested businesses to engage with the Council, provide valuable feedback, and potentially influence the future tendering process for these services. Participating in the PPME will not incur any cost reimbursements from the Council, and the outcome of this engagement will help shape the Council's decisions moving forward. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out PPME (Phase 2) in relation to Dementia Community Support.The Council will consider any 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 provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any provider 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 Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out a second round of PPME (phase 2) in relation to Dementia Community Support.
