There must be no CQC enforcement notices in place.

This procurement is being run via the open procedure under the Light Touch Regime.

The Council proposes to enter into a contract that will be for an initial term of 3 years with an option for the Council to extend for 2 years with the successful tenderer (Service Provider).
