Prior to starting the procurement, the Council is inviting organisations who have an interest in, and experience of, delivering such services to improve the public’s health, to a market engagement event to consider :-

• what innovative methods of service delivery could be considered e.g. web-based, groups and workplace settings • what potential providers see as areas of risk • what (if anything) would stop interested parties applying for this business opportunity, prior to a contract notice being issued and applications being invited.

This is an opportunity to influence and shape the future delivery of the service

The event will be held Wednesday 15th July at:

Hampshire County Council Ashburton Hall Sussex Street Winchester Hampshire SO23 8UJ
