Additional Market Engagement for the Prevention and Early Intervention Services

The London Borough of Enfield (the contracting authority) is seeking to undertake an additional phase of market engagement to update the market on the contracting authority’s current position, its outline requirements, and indicative timescales for the future Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) Services. Therefore, the contracting authority now has draft service specifications, aligned to their respective Lots and envisaged budgets. This round of engagement will allow the contracting authority to capture any other remaining feedback from the market prior to finalising its requirements and recommending a procurement strategy for internal decision making and approvals. Organisations that feel they can contribute to this additional phase of market engagement are requested to complete the Follow Up Market Engagement Questionnaire (Appendix 2 of the Market Engagement documentation refers) and return it via the London Tenders Portal/LTP (www.londontenders.org) in accordance with the instruction given in the Pre-Procurement Market Engagement - Update document. Note, that this further round of pre-procurement market engagement follows on from the early-stage market engagement that was undertaken by the contracting authority from Autumn 2023 to gather preliminary market views with the aim to support its plan to re-shape and remodel the future service(s) in a way it fulfils its prevention and early intervention objectives. The market engagement took place via a face-to-face / in-person and virtual market engagement events, along with the submission of a Soft Market Test Questionnaire. In addition to the early-stage market engagement involving service providers, views of residents or service users, professionals and partner organisations have been sought in the process of developing the draft service specifications.
