## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process, seeking input via a Market Engagement Questionnaire for the project titled "Physical Disability and Sensory Impairment Day Opportunities". This procurement initiative is focused on the social services industry, specifically addressing welfare services for disabled people and community action programmes. The procurement process is set within the UKI33 region, covering London, with key industry classifications under CPV codes 85310000, 85311200, and 85322000. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their responses to the market engagement exercise by 2nd May 2025, which will inform the procurement strategy in anticipation of service commencement by April 2026. Although this current phase is not a formal tender exercise, it offers crucial insight into potential procurement avenues.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), given its suitability specifications. With a projected contract value of £1,695,600 and a contract period from April 2026 to March 2031, with possible extensions until 2035, companies providing social care and welfare services can leverage this opportunity to expand their operations within the public sector. The procurement's focus on creating inclusive and supportive environments for people with disabilities underscores the potential for specialised service providers to innovate and scale their offerings, contributing to community welfare and accessing government funding for sustainable growth.

## Notice

This Market Engagement Questionnaire jointly issued by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), seeks to obtain market feedback in relation to the procurement Physical Disability and Sensory Impairment (PDSI) Day Opportunity Services in RBKC. This Market Engagement Questionnaire is not a call for tenders or a pre-qualification exercise. The purpose of the market sounding questionnaire is to gain insight into the market for PDSI day opportunity services in order to understand the level of interest and capacity of the market in relation to this future opportunity. Feedback received will be used to inform the procurement strategy and specification for the service.

### Planning Information

Your response is very important and will allow RBKC to assess the views of potential providers in the market and inform the procurement strategy. RBKC plan to finalise their procurement strategy by early Summer 2025 with a view to commencing procurement in late Summer 2025. It is envisaged that the new provider(s) will commence service delivery by April 1st, 2026, at the latest. At present these dates represent indicative timeframes only and may be subject to change. 
This questionnaire will not form part of the formal procurement process. All responses are to be submitted via our e-Procurement system, Jaggaer, by 02nd May 2025. All responses received by this date will be considered but will not bind either Authority to any particular procurement approach. RBKC reserves the right to not review any responses received after the submission date. 
Organisations are also invited to a market engagement event which will provide further insight of the requirements, the services, indicative timescales and procurement approach. The briefing will most likely be held virtually via Microsoft Teams in May.
