## Summary

The Southampton City Council is planning a tender process titled "Southampton EIP Market Engagement Workshops" in the services industry category. The procurement stage is at the planning phase, with a tender period starting on 1st January 2025 and a contract period from 1st February 2025 to 1st February 2029. The workshops will help develop commissioning intentions for Early Intervention and Prevention services, with recordings available for absentees between January and May 2024.

This tender process by Southampton City Council presents opportunities for small and voluntary sector enterprises in the services industry. Businesses offering guidance, community services, social work, and personal services are well-suited to participate. The market engagement workshops aim to involve existing and potential suppliers to shape the future service provision strategy, providing a beneficial platform for businesses looking to engage with the Council's service requirements and enhance their business capabilities.

## Notice

Market Engagement- Early Intervention and Prevention services: Southampton City Council commissions a range of "Early Intervention and Prevention services" designed to provide the city's residents with information, advice, guidance, and support with matters which support their wellbeing. This includes support relating to finance, benefits, immigration matters, and special educational needs; support for residents who may be unsure which services are best placed to meet their needs, as well as befriending services for those who may be particularly vulnerable or at risk of social isolation. A number of relevant service contracts are due to expire in the next year and it is the Council's intention to undertake a procurement exercise relating to this type of service provision during the next 12 months. Existing and potential suppliers of such services are invited to participate in a series of four market engagement workshops "in person" that are taking place between January 2024 and May 2024 to assist the Council in the development of its commissioning intentions for the future of these services. Each workshop will have a different focus and suppliers are invited to attend as many as they wish. It is intended that recordings of the content of each workshop will subsequently be made available for those organisations unable to attend. This prior information notice is not the start of a procurement process and interested provider organisations should note it is neither the intention nor purpose of the engagement events to confer any advantage to participants regarding any future procurement process.
