The process involves three specific lots: Lot 1 covers Safeguarding, Mental Capacity Act and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards, Lot 2 focuses on Social Care General Skills, and Lot 3 on Social Care Practical Skills. With a contract potentially commencing on 1 April 2025 and running until 31 March 2028, with options for extension, this procurement falls under the "services" category. Interested parties must submit their bids by 19 November 2024, with the tender period ending on the same date.
