Good afternoon
To enable me to be able to process your request I need further
information?
We have not recently published a tender for Childrens Centres so will need
specific information?
Title of the project?
Dates?
Where you have seen the project advertised?
Regards
Ruth Grehan
Dear Grehan, Ruth,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I am aware that some of your Children's Centres are not run by the Local Authority but are run by the Private and Voluntary Sector, please could I ask how you awarded these contracts? Was there some kind of commissioning process?
Yours sincerely,
Tina Burke
Tina
On the occasions that we have awarded the management of children's centres, we have tendered them, published via the Councils' e-tendering portal. All of our current contracts are published on our contract register that you can view via the Councils internet pages (see link). Please let me know if this is all the information you require or if you need further clarification?
