Potential providers are invited to respond to the questions concerning the proposed service to be procured. Responses to these questions may be used to inform our commissioning approach to the tender exercise. In order to make an informed decision on the optimum procurement approach we are looking to the market to:
1.	Suggest innovative and cost-effective delivery solutions, which may inform our specification development.
2.	Inform our thinking regarding commercial considerations of procuring a Housing Management agent.
3.	Ascertain a clear understanding of the market’s interest, capacity and experience to deliver the service.
4.	Understand the optimum way of procuring that will enable a wide cross section of the supply market to bid, including Local Authorities, Housing Associations and other registered providers.
