The engagement period is set to end on 26th July 2018, and interested parties are encouraged to participate in this non-competitive market assessment. The tender, identified as SWINDON001-DN336525-35841358, seeks to gather insights from potential providers to assist in refining the specifications for future services, with an estimated value of £350,000. This tender represents a promising opportunity for businesses in the health and community services sector, particularly those specialising in welfare services for children and young people. Companies geared towards community health services and community action programmes would greatly benefit from this early engagement. By participating in the soft market testing, businesses can influence the upcoming procurement process and position themselves favourably for future contracts that may arise from this initiative. ## Notice Family Centre Soft Market Testing Swindon Borough Council is seeking input from the market for Family Centre service provision.
