Northamptonshire County Council - Carer's Support Services

Contracts Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) will be re-commissioning Contracts for Carer's Support Services in Northamptonshire from March 2017. Potential Providers are invited to a presentation from the LGSS Procurement Team, demonstrating the online tendering system that NCC use (Due North). The presentation will be hosted at 10.00am on Friday 10th March, at County Hall, Northampton (arrival between 9.30am and 9.55am). (http://www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/en/contact/Pages/County-Hall.aspx) The presentation will be solely focused on the procurement tendering system, rather than any Contract opportunities, and as such, on the day, we will only be answering questions about the Due North tendering system. Depending on the number of questions asked, the presentation should last around an hour. The session will cover: ? Contracts Finder ? Registering on Due North ? Searching for contract opportunities ? Registering an interest in an opportunity ? Completing an online tender questionnaire ? Submitting your response ? Using the messaging area to contact the buyer Any questions in relation to the Tender (or any other Tender) need to be asked via the Due North messaging portal, once the Tender is live. If your organisation wishes to attend the demonstration, please RSVP to Amy Myers by 12:00noon on Wednesday 8th March 2017 via ammyers@northamptonshire.gov.uk, including details of your organisation, who will be attending and any access requirements.
