This procurement is classified under social work and related services, with procurement initiated on the 20th of July 2017 and a tender period that ends on the 15th of March 2018. The framework will be accessible not only to Warwickshire but also to related councils such as Coventry CC and Solihull MBC. Interested parties must register on the CSW-JETS e-tendering platform to express interest and obtain tender documents.
