Opportunity Overview
THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION.
Leicester City Council is looking at the recommissioning of our local High Dependency bed service of behalf of Leicestershire County Council and our LNR ICB. It is anticipated, dependent upon an engagement exercise, that tenders for this service would be sought in 08/2026, to enable a new contract to begin from 01/04/2027, immediately after the end of our current contract providing Discharge to Assess High Dependency RRR Residential service to Leicester and Leicestershire.
As part of the commissioning process, the authority is undertaking a soft market test, this gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about a potential service model and specification principles. The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop a specification.
This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The authority is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular service. There are therefore no formal criteria which we will use to judge your responses, and it is not our intention to provide any feedback.
