## Summary

Norfolk County Council is currently inviting tenders for the provision of an Independent Visitor Scheme, a service within the health and social work sector. This tender is structured as an open procurement process and will close on 13th December 2017. The scheme aims to establish a network of volunteers to support looked after children, and the value of the contract ranges from £110,000 to £550,000. The service is expected to commence on 1st April 2018 and continue until 31st March 2023, with delivery expected in the East of England.
