How to win: Framework Agreement for the provision of Child & Family Agency Staff (Social Care)

About this contract

Swansea Council is seeking to establish a framework agreement for the provision of an Agency Staff Framework for Child & Family Services (Social Care). The Council is currently developing their Services Specification, contracting process and commercial model for the provision of a Framework Agreement and this notice contains information about a Market Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ) which seeks the views and opinions of those organisations that may be interested in delivering the services. Access to the MEQ can be requested and returned via email. Please send requests to [email protected], and responses to the same address quoting MEQ -Child & Family Agency Staff Framework Agreement by no later than 12:00 noon on Monday 5th October. Participation in the engagement exercise is not a mandatory requirement for participating in any potential future procurement; however, responses received will assist to inform Swansea Council as to the level of interest from the market and will be used to evidence a decision as to how to undertake a competitive procurement. CONFIRMATION OF YOUR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT.
