An extension is required to allow sufficient time for the development and implementation of a new regional purchasing agreement that will encompass all 14 South-West local authorities. Given the scale and complexity of this collaborative project, it is anticipated that the new arrangement will take approximately two to three years to become fully operational. This extension will ensure continuity and stability for all stakeholders involved. ## CPV classification Health and social work services Other community, social and personal services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-05eafd-2025-11-28T12:18:47Z [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-05eafd-2025-11-28T12:18:47Z) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
