What the notice says

Leicestershire County Council, in partnership with Leicester City Council, are recommissioning a service that supports people to return home safely from hospital. There are two elements to the service - Assisted Discharge and Home from Hospital / Supporting your recovery. The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement is to gauge interest from the market and to investigate potential options for this service - the responses you provide will inform the Council when deciding whether to proceed to procurement and how to structure/design the service. Please note that this is not an opportunity to tender but is an information gathering exercise.

  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
