We're waiting for clare sanderson to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Cumbria County Council,

Please can you provide the following information under the Freedom of Information Act:
1. What are your current arrangements regarding supervised contact, in-house/outsourced, including current contracted provider(s) of any commissioned supervised contact services and the contract length?
2. Does the council use either external providers or staffing agencies to supply supervised contact services?
3. If the council uses external providers, is this done by directly engaging with agencies, or a tendered service?
4. If the service is currently outsourced, what is end date for the contract and do you intend to retender?
5. What is the council’s current annual spend on external providers for contact services?
6. What is the name and contact details of the council officer responsible for this service?
7. Where does the council advertised their tender opportunities?

Yours faithfully,

clare sanderson
