Summary of the contracting process

Tamworth Borough Council has completed a contracting process for the project titled "24/018 Trusted Assessor & Occupational Therapy Support Service" in the health and social work services category. The procurement focused on providing a comprehensive service to develop the role of Trusted Assessor for non-complex adaptation cases, alongside training and clinical supervision. The notice, referencing legal basis 32014L0024, was conducted under a limited procurement method without prior publication due to technical reasons, as only Trusted Assessing & Care Training Ltd. could fulfil the requirements.
