Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council is currently conducting a tender process for the project titled "Giving People with Learning Disabilities a Voice in Worcestershire & Easy Read Translation Service." This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is set within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The open procurement method will allow interested parties to submit their proposals until the end of the tender period on 17 April 2018. The contract for the successful bidder is expected to commence on 2 July 2018 and last for a duration of three years.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations focused on health and social services, particularly those with experience in advocacy and accessible communication. Businesses that specialise in providing inclusive services for individuals with learning disabilities, as well as those adept in creating Easy Read materials, would be well-positioned to compete. The contract also allows for potential sub-contracting and consortium arrangements, suggesting that smaller specialised firms could collaborate to deliver the necessary services effectively.
