This market assessment is not part of the procurement process, but is purely investigative in nature, to potentially assist the Council in defining a specification and contract for the services. This is not a call for competition. In preparation for this, it is our intention to hold a Soft Market Testing Workshop to review the current supply market. The same information will be gathered from all providers, who wish to participate in the Soft Market testing to assist the Council. Any contracts for services or supplies relating to this exercise may be subject to separate procurement processes in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. All participants in this ‘soft market testing’ exercise shall be responsible for their own costs (including third party costs) and the Contracting Authority shall have no liability to any participant. ### Description Swindon Borough Council is seeking to commission services to succeed our existing contracts to deliver housing and support to vulnerable young people in Swindon. These services will provide semi-independent housing and support in achieving greater independence to single young people and young parents. Our existing contracts end in September 2017 so we are looking for new contracts to begin in October 2017. The purpose of this Soft Market Test is to gain intelligence on the supply market for Swindon Borough Council’s requirements, including information that will help define the most appropriate structure, plan and budget for any potential competitive procurement exercise. Further details relating to the outline specification are provided in the attachments section on South West Portal. ### Workshop Details Participants are invited to meet with commissioners to hear our plans for the recommissioning process and our outline plans for the services. The format of the event will be that attendees will be presented with the outline plans of the commissioners. Attendees will be invited to ask questions and give thoughts throughout the presentation with a further opportunity to add comments at the end of the session and provide a written response following the event. This will give the opportunity for potential bidders and stakeholders to exchange ideas to increase the likelihood that our tendering exercise will deliver the services needed outcomes and is viable for delivery. The workshop is planned to take place in the morning of 25th November 2016 at Swindon Borough Council’s offices. If you are interested in attending the workshop, please email Ian Stenner, Commissioner Supported Housing, at by 25th October 2016 with the name, organisation and email address of the person wishing to attend and a confirmation email with joining instructions will be sent out before the event.
