Consultation process
A Market Test was undertaken with Providers in
the Market of providing Extra Care and a multi Local Authority

Test.
A Provider Engagement Event was held to further consult and inform
interested Providers.
All of this was managed through the Local Authorities Procurement
Portal to ensure fair and transparent engagement of Potential
Bidders.
Consultation has taken place with LCR Colleagues.
