## Summary

The procurement process involves Gloucestershire County Council, which has begun a tender for an "Expert by Experience led Quality Assurance Service" aimed at health and social care services for individuals with disabilities, autism, and/or mental health conditions. This tender is currently in the active stage and was formally initiated on December 6, 2021. The contract for this service, valued at £827,635, is set to run through until March 31, 2025, and will be delivered primarily in the Gloucester area (UKK13).
