CN250240 - Supported Employment Market Engagement Opportunity

Market Engagement Opportunity

Kent County Council is planning a Procurement process to appoint delivery partners for the Connect to Work Supported Employment scheme (funded by the Department of Work and Pensions). Prior to the commencement of the procurement process, we wish to engage with key stakeholders to gather information to help shape our Delivery and Procurement strategy.

KCC is seeking questionnaire responses from potential providers able to deliver Supported Employment Services to individuals in Kent & Medway.

Purpose of Engagement

The Council intends to use this Market Engagement Questionnaire as the first stage of our market engagement activities and is intended to build upon our existing knowledge of the market.

This stage is an open engagement exercise in which any potential providers can participate. A summary of the Market Engagement process along with any learning and how it has influenced service design will be shared with tenderers as part of any subsequent procurement process.
