Pre Tender Market Engagement Paper - Tender for Contracts for the Provision of Domiciliary Care Services in the Western Health and Social Care Trust Area

The Procurement and logistics organisation (PaLS) Business services organisation (BSO) on behalf of the Western Health and Social Care Trust (WHSCT), wish to inform the market that the WHSCT are proposing to award contracts for the Provision of Domiciliary Care Services in the Western Health and Social Care Trust Area and therefore wish to carry out pre tender market engagement with interested Providers.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic we are unable to meet with the market in person. Therefore in the interests of transparency and equal treatment this approach conducted in writing is being used for the purpose of pre tender market engagement in advance of any tender process

This pre tender market engagement will take the form of a paper and questionnaire for providers to respond to. The purpose of this exercise is to engage with and receive feedback from the market by outlining the Trust’s proposals for the delivery of domiciliary care services in the Trust area including the proposed model and key elements of the service, and its procurement plans and requirements.

The pre tender market engagement paper and questionnaire will be available on eTendersNI (https://etendersni.gov.uk) under resource ID 3593151. Please ensure you are registered with eTendersNI. Potential providers are asked to submit their responses to the questionnaire on eTendersNI by 15:00 on 16th August 2021. Any interest shown in the pre tender market engagement does not constitute a commitment to participate in a procurement exercise. Failure to show interest does not restrict providers from participating in any future procurement exercise.
