Tender description

To procure the services of an intermediate, external organisation to act in the interim to co-ordinate and oversee the work of the current Advisory Group and to "host" the Group's members, who, due to their often challenging and traumatic past experiences may not have trust in the government and the Department to take forward such activities and may not want to have a direct relationship with the department. This intermediate organisation is required to act as a mediator with this group, to ensure separation from DHSC and that independence and trust is maintained.
