Description
People First is the current Royal Borough of Kensington (RBKC) and Westminster City Council (WCC) information and advice for Adult Social Care Services. The contract for the current People First website is reaching expiry.
The ambition is to empower users of services, their family members, residents, community partners and providers through having effective web information and advice on ASC functions, processes, support services, activities and events.
Be it seeking information about local support services, wellbeing events, or support around a safeguarding, we want all stakeholders to have immediacy of access to the guidance they need so they feel informed and in control.
Underpinning this ambition is a website that is inviting to use; one that is visually engaging, easy to navigate, responsive, reliable and safe.
This planned procurement notice is to inform the Provider Market that a formal sourcing activity for the People First website's development will be conducted to replace the expiring contract.
