Market Engagement Exercise for Refugee Resettlement and Support Service

Hampshire County Council (HCC) is releasing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) to invite the market to provide feedback on a proposed payment model for the Refugee Resettlement and Support Service.

The current proposal is for a 1+1+1+1+1 single-supplier Contract.

The engagement process involves a questionnaire to gain feedback with possible one-to-one meetings with interested parties (via Teams if required). All meetings shall adhere to Governmental advice in respect of Covid-19.

If you are interested in this market engagement, please attach yourself to the project via the In-tend system at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire/ project ref AS16350. The deadline for interest and the completion of the response form is 7th May 2021 at 14:00. Registration and completion of any pre engagement questionnaire does not constitute an expression of interest in any future tender. Responses will not be used to evaluate your company, create a short-list or guarantee inclusion or exclusion in any resulting tender exercise.
