Notice Description

Following the pilot delivery of Professional Exchanges in 2016/17 and the commissioning of Exchanges for 2017/2018 and onwards, the Foundation is seeking to commission an Exchange that covers the Thames Valley region. Building on lessons learnt during the pilot phases, we are seeking to find an organisation with the capacity to deliver an Exchange that is flexible and works to support local practitioner needs, whilst also following the outline within this document.
