The current contract for the RTS service ends on 31st March 2026. We plan to commence a procurement process this summer with the aim to have a supplier in place by December 2025 to ensure the new contract can commence from 1st April 2026.
The London Borough of Camden is looking to host a market engagement session via Microsoft Teams from 11am - 12:30pm on Thursday 10th April 2025.
This market engagement event is designed to inform a wide range of potential providers about our intentions and gather valuable insights and feedback. We aim to:
- Inform: Provide detailed information about the upcoming procurement process and the requirements for the RTS service.
- Engage: Foster a collaborative environment where stakeholders can share their perspectives and experiences.
- Refine: Use the feedback received to shape the Procurement Strategy, ensuring it meets the needs of both the service users and providers.
- Discuss: Address key aspects such as contract duration, budget, and service delivery expectations.
Your participation is crucial in helping us to develop the proposed approach and we welcome your valuable contributions and insights.
The session is being held virtually via Microsoft Teams, if you wish to attend, please contact Michael Sargeant via [email protected] no later than 12pm on 9th April 2025.
