HCC - 06/25 - Preliminary Market Engagement for Safe Accommodation Support Services for Victims/Survivors of Domestic Abuse

Hertfordshire County Council is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) for the provision of Safe Accommodation Support Services for victims and survivors of domestic abuse. This tender, titled "HCC - 06/25," falls under the Health and Social Work Services industry category, including Social Work and Related Services. The service is to be delivered in the United Kingdom, specifically within the Hertfordshire region (UKH23).

The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the PME documentation available via the Supply Hertfordshire e-tendering system. Organisations interested in participating must submit their Supplier Questionnaire by the deadline of 12:00 noon on 1st August 2025, while the next communication regarding this opportunity is anticipated on 24th November 2025. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their operations within the social services sector.

By participating in the PME, organisations have the chance to influence the shaping of the local services offered to vulnerable individuals in Hertfordshire. Businesses specialising in support services, such as mental health or substance abuse counselling, are particularly well-suited to engage with this tender, potentially positioning themselves favourably for upcoming formal procurement processes. Participation in the PME can help organisations understand the Council's expectations and better tailor their service offerings to meet the community's needs.
