Opportunity overview

Cumberland Council is recommissioning its Daily Living Equipment Service and is seeking supplier input to help shape the future delivery model.

However, we are keen to understand the various options available and would welcome responses from all interested suppliers, including those that operate online-only, don't have a physical retail location in Cumberland etc. For further details and to access the pre-market engagement documents, use the council's online procurement portal - The Chest - https://www.the-chest.org.uk.
