The Council is currently exploring options in relation to: * Framework structure and operation * Referral and allocation processes * Package size and complexity * Pricing and payment models * Quality and outcome measures * Market capacity and workforce considerations * Potential delivery and coordination models that may best support effective service delivery and achievement of outcomes. This PME is therefore an opportunity for providers to influence the future design of the service and procurement model. The Council welcomes feedback, observations and recommendations regarding any aspect of the proposed approach. Providers can access the PME exercise through: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/walsallcouncil/aspx/Home The Council reserves the right to undertake further pre-market engagement activities following evaluation of the completed questionnaires. This may include, but is not limited to, face-to-face interviews with organisations that have submitted a questionnaire, group engagement sessions, workshops, market engagement events, or the issue of further questionnaires and information requests. These activities are intended to support the Council's understanding of the market, service delivery models, capacity, innovation and mobilisation approaches. Participation in this engagement process will not constitute any commitment by the Council to procure services or award a contract.",
