This process is set to commence with an engagement event aimed at service providers, leading to a potential framework starting in April 2023 for one year, with an option to extend for a further year. Interested parties should note that the engagement end date is scheduled for 6th May 2022, and a webinar providing further information is to be held on the same day from 10:00 to 11:30 AM via Microsoft Teams. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in health, social work, and community services, particularly those offering innovative and flexible family support interventions.
