Work description
Somerset County Council (SCC) is seeking interest from organisations, including community groups, that would like to manage and co-ordinate Healthwatch Somerset. Healthwatch Somerset is the local health and social care consumer champion and as such represents all customers of these services and the general public, who may themselves be future customers. A key requirement of Healthwatch Somerset is to engage in particular with those who are vulnerable or often unheard. Healthwatch Somerset is a member of the Somerset Health and Wellbeing Board and will champion the views of all customers and the general public at a strategic level to local health and social care commissioners and providers, and to Healthwatch England in order to improve services.
Healthwatch will be accountable to local customers of health and social care services, the general public and SCC in terms of the performance of its role and value for money.
SCC is intending to run a procurement process in early 2017. Pre-Tender Webinar in January 2017
SCC is holding a Pre-Tender Webinar on 13th January 2017 and is inviting organisations that might consider taking part in the procurement process. The webinar will be an opportunity to learn more about the service requirements and receive information about the procurement process.
Organisations that take part will not be advantaged or disadvantaged in any way in any potential future formal procurement. Commercial confidentiality will be respected. This notice does not represent a formal commitment by the Council to undertake a procurement procedure.
