Description

Kingston Council currently runs a basic Shopmobility service in-house, from the car park in Eden Walk shopping centre. It is looking to move provision of the service, and look at alternative modes of delivery to broaden the social care impact and offering, whilst moving to a more sustainable model. Some limited funding will be available from the Council, but there will be a need for the service to be provided in an innovative way, in order to cover costs. A new car park location will be offered to the provider, whilst the redevelopment of Eden Walk is taking place. The Council would like to understand from key providers how these requirements might best be met and is therefore carrying out a soft market testing exercise prior to any formal procurement taking place. Please review the attached Memorandum of Information and complete the questionnaire. Please submit the completed questionnaire via the portal by 15:00, Friday 2nd June 2017. https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=ba043447-de30-e711-80e0-005056b64545
