Prior to commencing the formal procurement process, ECH will undertake structured market engagement to test market capability, interest and appetite for delivering an enhanced Out of Hours Call Handling Service. This engagement will help ensure that the final specification, evaluation approach and commercial model are informed by current market practice, supplier innovation and available technology solutions. The market engagement will seek feedback from potential providers on key areas including repairs triage, safeguarding support, customer service standards, CRM and repairs system integration, real-time call logging, call recording, reporting dashboards, business continuity, mobilisation requirements and pricing models. Suppliers will also be invited to demonstrate their systems and explain how their approach could support improved service quality, operational efficiency and the wider digital transformation objectives of ECH. The engagement will be conducted in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner, ensuring that all participating suppliers receive the same information and that no supplier gains an unfair advantage ahead of the formal tender process. Outputs from the engagement will be used to refine the procurement documents, confirm whether the proposed Competitive Flexible Procedure remains the most appropriate route to market, and ensure that the resulting opportunity is attractive, proportionate and deliverable.
