After you submit an Expression of Interest
The Council will acknowledge all EOIs received within 30 days.
We will make a decision on whether to 'accept' the EOI and notify the 'challenging body' of our decision within 12 weeks of receipt.
If an Expression of Interest is accepted
If an EOI is accepted an open procurement process will be triggered on the delivery of that service in no less than six weeks and no more than three months following acceptance. This will enable the 'challenging body' to bid to run the service alongside other bidders, including private sector companies.
The Council will consider all bids to run the service, with the successful bidder taking on the running of that service.
