COV - Healthwatch Coventry Service and Independent Health Complaints Advocacy Service

Description

Coventry City Council is inviting suitably qualified Providers to submit tenders for the provision of the Healthwatch Coventry Service and Independent Health Complaints Advocacy Service (IHCAS). The Provider of this service must be a Social Enterprise but can deliver the service via a 'Hosted Model' (Hosted Model is where an organisation runs a Healthwatch Service as well as providing other services) or a 'Standalone Model', where the organisation is set up solely to run a specific Healthwatch service and a constituted Community Interest Company registered with Companies House in its own right. The Provider shall deliver the Healthwatch Coventry Service and be responsible for providing the Independent Health Complaints Advocacy Service on behalf of Coventry City Council. Although Healthwatch Coventry Service and IHCAS are separate services, the Council requires a single organisation to provide both independent services in order to meet statutory duties and requirements. Additional information: Please register via the Council`s e-procurement system - CSW-JETS https://in-tendhost.co.uk/csw-jets CSW-JETS is a sub-regional e-tendering portal run by In-tend. Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal. CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities. Registration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils'/Authorities' opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work. Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : Yes
