Description

Wiltshire Council, 'the Council', is conducting the procurement using the Open procedure for the provision of healthwatch and service user engagement activities across Wiltshire.

The procurement is split in to lots as follows:

1 Healthwatch
2 Service User Engagement (Adults)
3 Service User Engagement (Children)

The Contracts for ALL Lots will be for an initial term of 2 years with an option to extend for any period up to a further 1 year, as defined and at the sole discretion of the Council. The Contract is scheduled to commence on 01 January 2024

Tenderers that have received this document are those that have responded to the Council's Contracts Finder/Find a Tender Service advert via the e-procurement system. Such an organisation (whether a single organisation or a consortium) is referred to in this document as a 'Tenderer'.

This stage is a competitive stage of the procurement, and Tenderers will be formally evaluated as part of the stage.

The procurement is subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015).

Any amendments to this ITT will be communicated at the earliest opportunity to all Tenderers through the e-procurement system.

Where the Council makes such an amendment, it will ensure that Tenderers have an appropriate amount of time in which to understand and respond to the amendment. The deadline for submission of tenders may be altered to allow Tenderers to take amendments into account, and if this is the case, all Tenderers will be notified.
