Portsmouth City Council (the 'council') currently have a contract in place for the delivery of an advice service in Portsmouth. This contract is due to end on the 31st March 2022 and is currently valued at £295,000 per annum.

The purpose of this engagement is to share with you information about the current service and also our draft specification, and ask you to comment on our requirements. Any information a provider shares could be used to assist drafting the final specification.

Providers should note that there is no obligation to take part in this exercise and that if they do not take part it will not preclude them from any subsequent related procurement process. Engaging providers will not receive preferential treatment in any subsequent quotation or tender process, and this is in no way an indication of the selection of any organisation or a guarantee of future work.
