F11602 Childrens Complex Domiliary Care RFI

Hampshire Commissioners and their partner stakeholders have drafted a strategic Market Position Statement (MPS) to share with providers, to develop creative solutions to support children with complex care needs in their own home. The document is expected to develop further via market engagement and this notice is the start of that process. To this end, Commissioners seek feedback on both the MPS and initial proposals that are being cited as possible contract models(s) to put out to Tender later in the year.

Interested parties are invited to participate in a simple Request for Information (RFI) process to help Commissioners gather this market intelligence. The current schedule (subject to change) is:

3 February 2021 Publish MPS & RFI on Portal

2 March 2021 Closing Date for RFI received via the Portal

End March 2021 Revise MPS and draft service specifications

Early April 2021 Conduct further soft market testing if required

This is not the beginning of a Tender exercise, nor is it a firm commitment to Tender for these requirements. Your feedback at this point will not have a bearing on any future Tender submissions you may wish to offer at a later date. You will not be disadvantaged if you choose not to respond to this process but it will be helpful to understand your views at this stage, so you are encouraged to respond.

Completed responses are requested to be returned via portal message by Midday on Wednesday 2 March 2021.
