NCC commissions the care in these housing schemes. Some schemes offer specialist care for people living with dementia. Please ensure your organisation registers interest via In-Tend for either or both event by 30th July 2025. Proposed Agenda: 1.

Procurement: - Registering with Central Digital Platform - Procurement Process 3. Q&A Please note Norfolk County Council has joined the government's Devolution Priority Programme. This process has the potential to lead to the establishment of a county combined authority for Norfolk and Suffolk, with strategic powers, headed by an elected mayor. Government has also invited participation by Norfolk in Local Government Review. This process has the potential to lead to unitary local government in Norfolk. One of these changes could happen without the other. The contract may be assigned or novated to any successor authority(ies) to Norfolk County Council or to any joint body incorporating or formed by any such successor. The County Council or a successor authority or joint body may order services on behalf of other local authorities serving any area within Norfolk's current geographical boundaries.
