Guidance services

Tender description

The IOW Council is currently undertaking commissioning work around Information advice and guidance (IAG) services to the public; prior to commencing procurement for island-wide delivery of IAG from a ‘one-stop’ hub based on the ground floor of County Hall, alongside digital delivery and a range of IAG access points in accessible locations around the island. As part of pre procurement work in relation to working together with the Isle of Wight council to provide an effective provision of face to face public access of information, advice and guidance services for the benefit of island people, the commissioners would like to invite interested providers to a market information event on 19.10.2018 at 10:00 am at County Hall, Newport, Isle of Wight. This workshop is an opportunity for potential providers of these services to learn more about our ideas around the delivery of IAG and to help inform the draft contract specification for this service; as well as giving commissioners the opportunity to test out our ideas around activity and outcomes and to talk through various practical and developmental aspects of delivery within an informal and collaborative session, prior to commencing procurement.
