This tender, with a total value of £1,100,000, is intended to support children predominantly under the age of two who have additional support needs. Key dates include an engagement end date of 6th November 2020, and two virtual market engagement events scheduled for 5th and 6th November to inform potential providers about the commissioning intentions and procurement process.
