Description

Market Engagement Event


The Council recognises the importance of engaging with qualified providers of Technology Enabled Care and those developing innovative technologies and values the important contribution the sector can make to service design.

West Sussex County Council will therefore be holding a market engagement event to test its approach to the procurement of a new Technology Enabled Lives service with the wider sector, which we would like to invite you to attend. This will:
o Provide a forum to allow the sector to influence the design of the delivery model and service.
o Enable all parties to engage and develop ideas in a collaborative manner.
o Help us to identify any potential gaps in the sectors capabilities that may affect service outcomes.
o Give the Council assurance that its proposed service model is both feasible and deliverable in the current market conditions and that there are enough providers in the market for a competitive procurement.

We hope the enclosed information will allow you to ascertain an understanding of the outcomes we need to achieve with the Technology Enabled Lives Service and allow you time to consider and prepare for the event should the opportunity be something your organisation would be interested in.
