HCC - Jul 25 - Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) - Residential Placements for Children and Young People aged 7 years and above with Challenging Behaviour and Complex Needs across four sites
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Hertfordshire County Council is engaging in a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) for the provision of Residential Placements for Children and Young People aged 7 and above with challenging behaviour and complex needs across four sites: Brickendon, Cassiobury, Clothall, and Melbourne. The current procurement process is in the planning stage, with an upcoming Provider Event on 17 July 2025 at their Stevenage base. Interested organisations must submit their Provider Questionnaires by 12:00 Noon on 31 July 2025.
This initiative, categorized under health and social work services, is planned within the UKH23 region, specifically targeting services for complex needs management. This PME presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those adept in managing challenging behaviours and complex needs. The tender is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).
Businesses with expertise in trauma, mental health, and special educational needs may find this engagement highly relevant. While the PME stage itself is not a formal procurement process, participation can position businesses to better prepare for the potential tender processes that may follow, fostering collaborations and enhancing service delivery frameworks.
Hertfordshire County Council (The 'Council') is carrying out PME in relation to the provision of Residential Placements for Children and Young People aged 7 years and above with Challenging Behaviour and Complex Needs across four sites (Brickendon, Cassiobury, Clothall and Melbourne.) The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council's options 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.
Participation or non-participation in the PME shall not prevent any provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PME shall place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PME will be at each organisations own cost. No expense in responding to this PME will be reimbursed by the Council.
