Description

Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council is looking to receive quotations from bidders for the Community Network Support Scheme. The purpose of the scheme is to provide a support network for vulnerable people including those with a learning disability, autism, physical disability and mental ill health, living in their own home, focusing on the assets of the people that are being supported and the communities in which they live to foster greater independence and community integration and cohesion. For a full specification for this opportunity, please register you interest. Bidders are advised that the deadline set out above is absolute. You are advised to upload your submission well in advance of the deadline to avoid any technical issues that might arise causing you to fail to meet the deadline which would lead to the rejection of your submission. The Council is conscious that Bidders spend a huge amount of time, effort and expense in putting together a submission and is keen to ensure that no bid is rejected for this reason. In submitting your quotation you agree to contract on the terms and conditions that have been issued as part of this opportunity. Due to the Council's obligations of fairness and equal treatment to all bidders it cannot accept amendments to these terms and conditions or alternative terms and conditions. If you seek to amend the terms and conditions or submit alternative terms and conditions the Council may reject your quotation.
