Once registered you will be able to see the procurement project under the 'tenders' section and 'express an interest' to view the documentation. If you encounter any difficulties whilst using the system you can contact the In-tend support team by phoning +44 8442728810 or e-mailing support@in-tend.co.uk.Norfolk County Council has expressed interest in the government's Devolution Priority Programme and has been accepted onto that programme. This process has the potential to lead to the establishment of a county combined authority for Norfolk and Suffolk, with strategic powers, headed by an elected mayor. Government is also expected to invite participation by Norfolk in Local Government Review. This process has the potential to lead to unitary local government in Norfolk. One of these changes could happen without the other.The contract may be assigned or novated to any successor authority(ies) to Norfolk County Council or to any joint body incorporating any such successor. The contract may be used by any current or future local authority serving all or part of the area currently served by Norfolk County Council and Suffolk County Council.",
