Our intention is to go out to Tender for the new Framework in Autumn 2023. We are already speaking to our current quality local providers market about joining our new framework, and we are also keen to hear from social care providers not currently within the Bristol market. We are looking for informal expressions of interest on the above services to establish the level of market interest via this short Microsoft form. We will also use the contact information on the form to keep you up to date about the Tender and any associated events. Please make sure just one lead person for your organising submits a form. We would appreciate it if you can submit your expression of interest by Friday 14th July 2023. You will still be able to complete the form after this date but it would help inform our planning for the tender to understand marker interest as early as possible in the process.
