## Summary

Knowsley Council is currently engaged in the procurement process for the "Housing Options Service," which falls under the classification of housing services. The tender was published on 26 May 2016, with the application deadline concluded on 24 June 2016. The contract period is set to run from 1 November 2016 to 31 October 2019, with a contract value of £1,980,000 and a minimum value of £1,800,000. The procurement approach employed is an open procedure, reflecting the Council's commitment to transparency and accessibility in public procurement.
