## Summary

The North Lanarkshire Council is conducting a tender process for the establishment of a Flexible Framework for the Provision of Non-Traditional Respite services, falling under the Social Work Services industry category. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender stage is currently active, with a submission deadline of 7th September 2021. The estimated value of this framework over its ten-year duration is £4,000,000, starting with a Year 1 budget allocation of £300,000. The services will be delivered in North Lanarkshire, UK.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in providing social work and care services.
