Pre-Tender Market Engagement - Regional Service User Network for Adult Service Users and Service User Groups in Northern Ireland (Substance Use Services)

The Procurement and Logistics Service (PaLS) on behalf of the Public Health Agency (PHA) wish to carry out a market engagement with Providers interested in delivering a Regional Service User Network for Adult Service Users and Service User Groups in Northern Ireland (Substance Use Services).

This pre-tender market engagement will take the form of a Briefing Paper and Questionnaire for Providers to respond to. The purpose of this engagement is to receive feedback from Providers on the proposed new procurement arrangements and key elements of the service for the provision of a Regional Service User Network for Adult Service Users and Service User Groups in Northern Ireland (Substance Use Services). Also, to make potential Providers aware, in advance of the publication of the tender, of the introduction of Northern Ireland Procurement Policy Notes (PPN) relating to Social Value that may apply to this tender & Human Rights that will be included in any future Tender. The Market Engagement Briefing Paper and Appendix 1 – Market Engagement Questionnaire are available on eTendersNI (https://etendersni.gov.uk) under Resource ID/CfT: 4993409.

Please ensure you are registered with eTendersNI under CPV Code 85000000. Potential providers are asked to submit their responses to the Appendix 1 – Market Engagement Questionnaire on eTendersNI via messaging service for Resource ID/CfT: 4993409 no later than 15:00 on Thursday 28th September 2023.  Any interest shown in the pre-tender market engagement does not constitute a commitment to participate in a procurement exercise. Failure to show interest does not restrict providers from participating in any future procurement exercise.
