            <p>Suffolk County Council are undertaking market engagement with the aim of developing our requirements and approach to the procurement and preparing the tender notice and associated tender documents. We are also looking to identify suppliers who are able to supply Ofsted regulated services. We aim to align the new Ofsted regulations/standards within the contract documentation for this service, to ensure the best outcomes for young people living with these providers.</p>
            <p>To facilitate this, interested parties are encouraged to complete the following questionnaire no later than 30th June 2026:</p>
            <p>https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=7GqcEEZQlUqPPIT2O6GK9IbxYf7BzmVMu5vfTVycLWBUOUxINVcyWTBFWEpVTURaTEs3RlVVSVlaRiQlQCN0PWcu</p>
            <p>The responses will then be reviewed and used to help develop our thinking ahead of an online preliminary market engagement event at 1pm on Friday 10th July 2026. </p>
            <p>To request an invite to this event, please write to CYPContractsMailbox@suffolk.gov.uk in advance, quoting reference no. ITS334</p>
