Description
Essex County Council (ECC) is at an early stage in the development of procuring its Corporate Occupational Health and Wellbeing and Employee Assistance Programme Services, and prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity, seeks input from the market. The council's current contract is due to expire on 13th September 2023. No date has been set yet for the tender process to commence.
As part of this process the Council is conducting a pre-market engagement exercise, to gather information, improve our understanding of the current market and how services are provided. This will help shape the requirement.
This exercise will provide an opportunity for the Council to obtain insight into how potential providers might approach the delivery of the services in question. It also gives useful early insight into the likely level of interest from that market.
Any information gathered will not be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier/provider participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier/provider at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process.
Answers to questions submitted should be no more than 500 words per question and should be submitted to sophie.jarrett@essex.gov.uk, no later than 5:00p.m. on 13/03/2023.
