Description of the goods or services required
WCBC are inviting potential providers to a virtual market engagement event, in relation to the forthcoming procurement activity that will be taking place for Families First and other grants.
This event will provide an opportunity for potential providers to get information about the council’s commissioning intentions and forthcoming procurement, to ask questions, to meet other providers with whom they may wish to collaborate and to share insight and good ideas to help inform the procurement exercise.
It is anticipated that the contracts for all services will start in July 2022. The duration of the contract will be three years, with the option to extend for a period of up to 2 years; dependent on annual confirmation of WG funding.
As part of this process WCBC will be running fora to establish the early discussions with provider organisations. We are bringing the following themes for consideration;
