What the notice says

Central Bedfordshire Council is undertaking a Request for Information (RFI) to engage with the market and seek feedback from providers on the potential delivery of an Information, Advice and Guidance Service. The purpose of this exercise is to understand market capability, capacity, and innovative approaches that could inform the future design and commissioning of the service. This RFI is for information gathering purposes only and does not constitute a formal procurement process.
