Provision of Children's Home Services - Provider Engagement
Lancashire County Council is in the process of undertaking a major exercise to recommission Children's Home Services. Prior to the commencement of a procurement, we wish to engage with key stakeholders about the key elements of our plans via an online questionnaire.
The provider engagement questionnaire can be accessed via the Lancashire County Council Website 'View tender opportunities' page.
Responses need to be received by Tuesday 20th July.
We would welcome a response from your organisation. All responses received as part of this provider engagement will be considered as we finalise our approach to recommissioning the service.
It is our intention that a procurement process will follow this provider engagement. Please ensure your organisation is registered on our iSupplier portal on the Lancashire County Council website, and check the iSupplier portal page regularly for updates.
The Authority reserves the right to amend what is set out in the engagement. Any procurement process that may be conducted will only be in accordance with the procurement documents that are published.
