Consultation process

As these services are used across the Council, we have completed a cross council consultation using an online questionnaire for users of the SOW element and collecting feedback from internal service users of the Agency worker element via email and face to face.

The draft specification was also shared with these individuals so that they could review or requirements and suggest any amendments. They were also invited to sit on the evaluation panel.

An online market engagement session was held in February 2025, where all suppliers on Lot 1 of the MSTAR4 Framework were invited to attend. 10 organisations attended this session. Following on from this we held online 1:1 engagement sessions with interested suppliers. 5 organisations attended these, including the incumbent.
