two.1.4) Short description
Lancashire County Council is in the process of undertaking an exercise to recommission Advocacy Services in Lancashire. Prior to the commencement of a procurement, we wish to engage with key stakeholders to gather information and share procurement proposals via an online questionnaire.
For further information please see the questionnaire here: https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/business/tenders-and-procurement/tenders/market-engagement-questionnaire-for-the-provision-of-advocacy-services-in-lancashire/
We would welcome a response from your organisation. All responses received as part of this provider engagement will be considered as we finalise our approach to recommissioning the service.
Once we have received and analysed responses to this questionnaire, we plan to hold a virtual event with providers to explore providers' views in more detail. It is our intention that a procurement process will follow the provider engagement. Please ensure your organisation is registered on our iSupplier portal on the Lancashire County Council website, and check the iSupplier portal page regularly for updates.
The Authority reserves the right to amend what is set out in the engagement. Any procurement process that may be conducted will only be in accordance with the procurement documents that are published.
