This would include the possibility of developing a Local Authority Owned Company (LAOC), as well as other potential delivery models. The Council has concerns about the quality and sustainability of provision for older people and also the terms and conditions offered to care staff by private employers, and wishes to explore the feasibility of such services being provided differently, and potentially through a LAOC. ## CPV classification Business and management consultancy and related services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/58313443-5c0b-44f1-9008-27675dec16aa) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
