Soft Market Testing - Health Visiting Service 0 - 5 years.
Main contract details
The purpose of this soft market testing exercise is to determine whether or not there is sufficient interest in the marketplace for the delivery of a 0 – 5 years Health Visiting Service from existing, as well as new providers, to inform future commissioning intentions and the development/refinement of the service specification. The Councils are also keen to explore ways which can improve health outcomes for those aged between 0 – 5 years and the cost effectiveness of the service.
This exercise is not a formal tendering process. Participation in this exercise is completely voluntary and submitting, or not submitting a response, would not preclude you from any further procurement activity.
A background to the 0 – 5 Health Visiting service is set out in the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire which is available on the e-sourcing portal www.delta-esourcing.com.
The Councils are seeking written responses to the Questionnaire (there is no obligation to answer all the questions; no scoring will take place).
Following the submission of the questionnaire and upon consideration of the responses, the Councils may wish to invite providers to attend a follow up meeting to discuss responses. Attendance is not in any way mandatory but a face to face discussion would of course assist the Councils in determining future commissioning and procurement intentions.
The Councils also intend to hold a Market Engagement Event on Tuesday 13 September 2016 between 14:00 and 16:00 at Wandsworth Town Hall.
Submitting the Questionnaire.
To participate in this opportunity, providers must access and refer to the questionnaire at www.delta-esourcing.com
Any queries or questions of clarification relating to this soft market testing questionnaire must be submitted through the portal. Please note that the deadline for submission of questions is 12:00 noon on 26 August 2016.
Completed questionnaires along with any supporting documentation must be submitted by 12:00 noon on 07 September 2016.
