Description

Newcastle City Council (''the Lead Authority'') is acting as the lead authority on behalf of the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) and its Member Authorities, in respect of the procurement of this Framework Agreement (Contract) for Independent Visitor Services.

South Tyneside 7. Together for Children Local Authorities who have 'opted out' at this initial period of the solution may 'opt-in' to use the solution during its term. The agreement will be available for use by all NEPO Members. A list of member organisations is available in the About section of the NEPO website at: www.nepo.org. This agreement will also be made available to all current and future NEPO Associate Members.
