Information and Advice Services Market Engagement

Description

Solihull Council currently commissions information and advice support, which is delivered from the Core in Solihull, the Bluebell Centre in Chelmsley Wood, by phone and online. These are called our Community Advice Hubs. The Community Advice Hub provides universal services with the focus on maintaining independence, good health and promoting wellbeing. This will include, but not be limited to: • Self-help tools • signposting on a wide range of issues including: o public health services, o health and wellbeing information & advice, o leisure services, o employment and education, o relationships, o legal, o consumer, o travel, o immigration and discrimination, o general debt advice, o Disability benefits and financial advice, o Fast track triage people through to Level 2 specialist services. The Council wants to engage with the market to help inform the shape of future procurements to secure the right capacity to meet local needs in the future. We propose a market testing exercise to help with this. Additional information: Please register via the Council`s e-procurement system - CSW-JETS https://in-tendhost.co.uk/csw-jets CSW-JETS is a sub-regional e-tendering portal run by In-tend. Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal. CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities. Registration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils'/Authorities' opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work. Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
