Engagement

The Council is conducting online Market Engagement by issuing a Market Engagement document which provides an overview of the current service, the client profile, and key strategic priorities and outcomes for the future. The Council is seeking input from the housing support market, requesting engagement by way of response to a set of questions which will inform the development of the service specification and ensure the best outcomes for Sutton residents. Information and access to the Market Engagement is availableon the ETender Portal at www.londontenders.org and responses will be collected by way of form completion.
