This engagement is a Request for Information (RFI) and part of a Pre-Market Engagement (PME), aiming to explore potential options for commissioning this exercise. Classified under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services (CPV code 85000000), and located in the UKE12 region of the United Kingdom, this process is not an invitation to tender but serves to inform future procurement decisions. The engagement process includes key milestones, such as the upcoming due date for market engagement scheduled on 18th May 2026, and the commencement of the contract period expected from 24th August 2026 through to 18th December 2026.

By participating in this market engagement, businesses can potentially position themselves as key contributors to shaping care service cost strategies, expanding their credentials in the public sector. The light-touch regime procurement method allows for innovative and flexible approaches, making it particularly advantageous for smaller, specialised firms aiming to grow their portfolios in the public health service domain.
