## About this tender

Expressions of interets are via submission of invitation to quote which can be downloded from The Chest. The North West Directors of Adult Social Sevices (ADASS) are looking for a partner to work across 23 North West local authorities to deliver the contract above. A North West Workforce Strategy Group, led by the NW ADASS Workforce Lead, will act as a steering group for the work.

The levels of service All 23 North West local authorities will have the opportunity to nominate at least one participant. Our suggested focus of the work are advanced practitioner roles but we recognise local authorities will require freedom to nominate colleagues.
