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

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.
