ASC0288 - Soft Market Test & Market Engagement Event - Home Care Service, Leicester

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION Leicester City Council the Authority and the NHS Leicester Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board LLR ICB are recommissioning their Home Care Services for the population of Leicester.

As part of the commissioning process the Authority is undertaking a soft market test and online market engagement event. Further to initial soft market testing commissioners have proposed a potential model for this service going forward. This gives potential Tenderers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential model and specification principles. The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop the specification.

This process does not constitute a formal Tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The Authority is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this.
