Strategic Partnership Framework for Commissioning of Children's Services: Cluster 3

The Council is undertaking preliminary market engagement in respect of a potential future procurement to establish up to three Strategic Partnership Frameworks for the commissioning of Children's Services. These frameworks would aim to support the development and delivery of high-quality, inclusive and outcomes-focused services for children and young people. At this stage, the proposed approach, structure and scope of the Frameworks are indicative only and subject to change following market feedback.
