Good health This Preliminary Market Engagement is a follow on from a previous Preliminary Market Engagement carried out in August 2025 (Ref: DN785713); this was carried out to understand the current market and inform future service design, and confirmed market interest in delivering services targeted at 18 to 25 year olds with disabilities and/or complex needs.
