Planning and budget

No Engagement Notice Rationale
The Council has not engaged the market on this occasion due to the vast number of potential Providers already working with the Council in these areas. There are over 120 Providers on the Council’s Community Based Out of School Provision (Eotas) Approved Provider List, all of whom will be aware of the tender and deliver the services we require as part of this tender, when it is advertised through formal channels, as will potential new Providers when the PA23 notices are published. The Specification will provide sufficient detail for the projects to be open, fair and transparent.
