HCC - 02/24 - Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) for Children and Young Person Healthy Weight Service

Description

The Council has recently updated its approach in promoting healthy weight in Hertfordshire by adopting a whole systems collective approach to addressing obesity through ’10 pillars of Action’ (adapted from the work in Amsterdam). This approach focuses on a collective approach among partners to support communities to maintain a healthy weight long term, as part of a county-wide approach. The 10 Pillars are summarised below. The first six pillars will contribute to preventing people from becoming overweight and obese, the seventh pillar will offer support to people who are already overweight, and the final three pillars are approaches/principles that will help us to effectively achieve and measure the first seven pillars.Please refer to the PPME Document for full details Lot 1: Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ("PPME") for Children and Young Person Healthy Weight ServiceThe Council is seeking input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping any future opportunity for contracts. This input will help inform any resultant procurement process. Please refer to the PPME document for more detailed information.The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council’s options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process, and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation’s own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council.Further information can be found within the attached documentation. You are invited to submit a completed questionnaire by 12 noon on 4th March 2024. Please log in or register at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home
