Description

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION
Leicester City Council is recommissioning its supported living services. It is anticipated, that tenders for the next set of supported living arrangements would be sought in November 2019 to enable new contract(s) to begin from November 2020.
As part of the commissioning process, the Commissioners would like to undertake a soft market test. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential service model and service definitions. The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop the specification.
This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The commissioners are using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular service. There are therefore no formal criteria which we will use to judge your responses, and it is not our intention to provide any feedback.
To participate in this Soft Market Testing, interested organisations that may be interested in tendering at a later stage, either individually or as part of a consortium must complete a Soft Market Testing questionnaire.
The questionnaire can be found by copying and pasting the following web link into your web browser:
https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=5f9dc577-d65a-e911-80f3-005056b64545
The completed questionnaire must be returned electronically by email before or no later than 14:00 hours on 10 May 2019 to the email address procurement-asc@leicester.gov.uk with the subject heading 'Completed SMT Q - SL'
