Description
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Leicester City Council is considering the commissioning of a Participation Service which will help us to ensure that people drawing on the support of our Social Care & Health services are equal partners and that their lived experiences are a primary consideration when we are planning and designing the support and services that are needed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We would like the future service to continue to recruit, train and support people drawing on support that live in Leicester to share their lived experiences and influence Social Care and Health service design and delivery. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As part of the commissioning process, we are undertaking a Soft Market Test. This gives potential providers of care and support services and other people or groups that may have an interest in this area of work, the opportunity to express their interest and feed in their views about this area. Commissioners will use the information to explore alternative options and further develop a model of delivery.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and it will not result in the letting of a Contract. We are using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular service area. There are therefore no formal criteria being used to judge your responses and we do not intend to provide any feedback.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If the decision is made to tender for this service, it is anticipated this will be published in September 2022, with the new contract ready to start with effect from 01/07/2023.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To participate in this Soft Market Testing, organisations that may be interested should complete a Soft Market Testing questionnaire. The questionnaire can be downloaded from the attachments section of this advert. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This completed questionnaire should be returned electronically by email before or no later than <span style="color: #e03e2d;"><strong>14:00 hours on 11/04/2022</strong> </span>to <span style="color: #3598db; text-decoration: underline;">procurement-asc@leicester.gov.uk</span> with the subject heading: <strong>‘Completed Soft Market Test Questionnaire – Participation Service’</strong>.</p>
