South Gloucestershire Council has taken the lead for the purposes of tendering this opportunity; The other Authorities included in this Consortium are Bath and North East Somerset Council, Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council, and Wiltshire County Council. Other local authorities may join this 'Light Touch Regime' pseudo-DPS during the life of the contract.
