At peak delivery this will be approximately 1,000 participants per annum across all 6 local authority areas of the city region. It is anticipated that one provider will be able to fulfil this need in terms of volumes and geographical coverage, but this will not be fully understood until the conclusion of the procurement process. Please note we don't have our cost centre set up yet with budget codes, it is in the process of being set up and we have a meeting with finance this week to discuss. ## CPV classification Health and social work services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-05e533-2026-08-26T15:09:49+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-05e533-2026-08-26T15:09:49+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
