MW20029 - Supported Living Framework - Forensic and/or Challenging Behaviour Framework - Market Engagement Event

The framework will be for people with a forensic history and/or with complex challenging behaviour. The aim of this event is to provide an outline of the commissioning intentions, for commissioners to understanding the interest and the market's capabilities, and for potential service providers to gain a wider understanding of the scope, provide feedback and ask questions.

The session will give an overview of the current services provided in Wolverhampton, describe the Council's visions going forward and explain the procurement process. The information gathered from this exercise will help shape future proposals including any potential tendering process and associated service specification 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 pre-procurement market engagement process shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the pre-procurement process shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the pre-procurement market engagement procurement process will be at each suppliers own cost.

No expense in responding to this process will be reimbursed by the Council. This is not a call for competition.

The virtual provider engagement session will be held via MS Teams between 10.00am - 1.00pm on Thursday 5 November 2020 to provide further information about this tender opportunity. The availability to book will open on Tuesday 20th October 2020 at 1pm and will close on Wednesday 4th November 2020 at 12pm.
