Description
Herefordshire Council will be running an online Market Engagement event for all businesses interested in delivering Home Care Services in Herefordshire. These services are commissioned for residents with assessed eligible needs, in order to enable them to remain safe and independent in their own homes for longer, reducing or delaying the need for more formal health and social care services.
The online engagement event will take place on Tuesday 27 January 2026 via Microsoft Teams, for those who were unable to attend one of the three in person sessions held in December.
There are two sessions available:
Session 1: 10am - 11am (the meeting room will open at 9:55am)
Session 2: 3pm - 4pm (the meeting room will open at 2:55pm)
ALL SUPPLIERS WHO WISH TO ATTEND WOULD NEED to e-mail Jessica Kingswood-Preece, Commissioning Support Officer, at contracts@herefordshire.gov.uk by 1pm on Friday 23 January 2026 and confirm:
• Your organisation name
• Name, position and e-mail address (for all attendees)
