Please see the link below within 'Attachments" to the questionnaire. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=slTDN7CF9UeyIge0jXdO41uziehW...

This notice is an information gathering exercise rather than a call for competition in its own right, and therefore publication or response does not commit Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board or respondents to a future procurement, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. Commissioners are looking to establish what interest there might be in providing such a service from suitably qualified, capable, and competent organisations. Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise. Interested parties should note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an automatic invitation to any subsequent formal procurement, which the commissioners will consider in due course. The services are deemed to be subject to the full regime of current EU procurement legislation and as such (if applicable) any subsequent tender will be conducted in accordance with, and governed by, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This contract will therefore be awarded in accordance with the provisions applicable in Section 5 (sub-section 7) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
