HCC - 07/25 - Preliminary Market Engagement for the Provision of a Service to deliver LeDeR reviews in Hertfordshire
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Hertfordshire County Council is initiating a preliminary market engagement (PME) process for the provision of services to conduct LeDeR reviews in Hertfordshire. This initiative, aimed at improving services for those with learning disabilities, falls under the health and social work services category. The council operates out of Hertford, United Kingdom, and is seeking insights from potential providers to shape the forthcoming procurement plan.
Key dates include a supplier questionnaire deadline on 22 July 2025 as part of the PME documentation requirements. The overall procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with potential notices expected by November 2025. This procurement provides a substantial opportunity for businesses in the health services industry, particularly those specialising in miscellaneous health services, to contribute to service improvements for individuals with learning disabilities.
Companies, including SMEs and VCSEs, can leverage this engagement to showcase their capability in managing and delivering health service reviews and improvements. With the contract period anticipated to span from April 2026 to March 2028, with possible renewals extending through March 2029, businesses positioned in relevant sectors may find this a favourable opportunity for growth and development within the health and social care domain.
The Council is carrying out PME in relation to this project. The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council's options, requirements and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process.
People with a learning disability often have poorer physical and mental health than other people and may face barriers to accessing health and care to keep them healthy. Too many people with a learning disability are dying earlier than they should, many from things which could have been treated or prevented. The Learning from Lives and Deaths - People with a Learning Disability and Autistic People (LeDeR) programme was set up as a service improvement programme to look at why people are dying and what can be done to change services locally and nationally to improve the health of people with a learning disability and reduce health inequalities.
It aims to improve the quality of health and social care services for people with a learning disability and autistic people by learning from their deaths. Reviews are carried out to identify good practice and areas for improvement, with the goal of reducing health inequalities and preventable deaths. Scope of Intended Project The Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWEICB) is exploring the market for a provider to deliver a Service for the provision of LeDeR reviews in Hertfordshire in line with the (LeDeR Policy 2021 and subsequent NHS England guidance.

No expense in responding to this PME will be reimbursed by the Council.
