Description
Engagement Process Description: This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) Notice is being published to inform the wider supply chain, including both existing providers currently contracted with Wiltshire Council and new or prospective providers, that Wiltshire Council will be hosting a series of online and in-person market engagement events in preparation for an upcoming tender opportunity. Wiltshire Council invites all interested providers, including both existing contract holders and new market entrants with experience or interest in delivering community-based services to children and adults, to take part in this engagement. We are particularly interested in hearing from providers who have an active presence in Wiltshire or who are based in neighbouring local authority areas - such as Dorset, Somerset, Hampshire, Swindon, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, or Berkshire and who are able to deliver services locally. Providers with a CQC-registered office in Wiltshire or a neighbouring authority area will be especially well-placed to contribute to the development of a sustainable and responsive local service model. Attendance is limited to two persons per provider. The market engagement events will take place from May to July 2025. Full location and joining details will be provided upon receipt of a provider’s expression of interest. Please register your interest by emailing Joanna.denham@wiltshire.gov.uk with the subject line “AC2228 PME Registration”, ensuring your email is sent before the stated registration deadlines. Please note: This is a market engagement exercise only and may not necessarily lead to a future procurement process. Should a tender opportunity proceed, the route has not yet been determined. The information gathered during this engagement will help inform the development of any future procurement. Deadlines to Register Interest: • Tuesday, 20 May 2025, 12:00 PM (noon) – for 21st May Engagement • Friday 13th June 2025, 12:00 PM (noon) – for 17th June Engagement • Monday 14th July 2025, 12:00 PM (noon) – for 16th July Engagement Market Engagement Event Dates: • 21 May 2025 – 15:00 PM – 16:00 PM • 17 June 2025 – 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM • 16 July 2025 – 15:30 PM – 16:30 PM Location: Online – Microsoft Teams (link provided following registration) – 21st May 2025 & 16th July 2025
