HCC - May 23 - Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) for Extra Care Providers

Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out PPME in relation to the provision of Extra Care Providers.

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 PPME shall not prevent any provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process.

Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost.

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

To access the PPME documentation please visit www.supplyhertfordshire.uk and follow the on-screen guidance.

To participate in this PPME, organisations must submit their completed Provider Questionnaire, together with any supporting documents, through the In-Tend system by the return deadline stated in the PPME documentation and the In-Tend system.

Provider Questionnaires cannot be uploaded after the closing date/time.

Please make sure that you have submitted your Provider Questionnaire following the instructions within the PPME documentation and the In-Tend system.

The Council will not be held accountable for any errors made by an organisation in submitting their Provider Questionnaire.

If you are experiencing problems with Supply Hertfordshire, In-Tend (which hosts the Supply Hertfordshire eTendering system) offer a help section which includes a dedicated UK Support Desk which can be contacted via email support@in-tend.co.uk or telephone +44 (0)114 407 0065 for any website / technical questions Monday to Friday 8:30am - 5:00pm.
