Complex Residential Care Market Engagement

Royal Borough of Kingston Adults Social Care Team (RBK) is seeking input from the market to support the future commissioning of Complex Residential Care.

RBK has recognised that there is a shortage of providers to deliver complex residential care services to clients in the Kingston area.

The aim of this soft market exercise is to request for information from the market :

To understand the availability and locality of complex residential care providers in Kingston or within a 25 mile radius of Kingston borough boundaries.

To understand the challenges faced by providers of complex care services.

Royal Borough of Kingston would like to understand from key providers how these requirements might best be structured and is therefore carrying out a soft market testing exercise to engage in early informal dialogue prior to any formal procurement taking place.

Organisations that are interested in participating in this exercise should read the Memorandum of Interest and complete the Market Engagement Questionnaire. This questionnaire should be returned via the London Tenders Portal no later than 12:00 hours on ??????????? 2022. You can register for free at https://procontract.due-north.com/register

All information provided in the questionnaire responses and any subsequent discussions will be strictly confidential and will assist RBK in shaping and scoping requirements and provide insight into the most suitable delivery model for complex residential care. RBK does not have a firm intention to award a contract at this stage.

Please note that this soft market testing activity does not constitute a call for competition to procure any services, supplies or works for RBK and that RBK is not bound to accept any proposals offered
