We invite you to join us at a market engagement meeting on Wednesday 6th November at 10am to discuss our ideas. It will be via a Microsoft Teams event and will be recorded for those who cannot make it.
Please contact us if you would like to attend by emailing dayopportunities@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk.
We want to engage with day opportunities providers, community groups and initiatives for example people who operate lunch clubs, classes and clubs (whether fitness, art, social and everything in between), local businesses, existing hubs and explore potential ways we can work together to offer more choice and flexibility.
We want to expand the options available for people to purchase these services, therefore we will be running a further competition through Lot 26 on the DCF2 to expand our Individual Service Fund (ISF) provider list. You will need to have joined the DCF2 to be able to bid for the further competition. Providers can either join as an ISF provider and/or broker.
