What the buyer says
All practitioners in Lincolnshire who work with or have direct contact with Children or Adults must have access to current national legislation and statutory guidance, alongside local policies and procedures and best practice guidance, to enable them to safeguard Children and Adults. This includes staff within Lincolnshire County Council’s (LCC) Children’s Services, Adult Social Care, and professionals from partner organisations and sectors, such as Police, Education, Health and the Voluntary and Community sector. LCC therefore requires access to an online manual to host and manage policies and procedures on behalf of Children’s Services, Adult Services and the Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Partnership (LSCP) as well as a range of safeguarding and regulatory manuals to support multi agency access to legislation, practice and policy guidance across Lincolnshire. This service is a critical resource for practitioners across Lincolnshire, ensuring access to up-to-date legislative, statutory and practice guidance that supports safe, effective and compliant service delivery.

From the award notices on Find a Tender and Public Contracts Scotland. Values are as each notice states them and cover the contract's whole term: most notices give the value before VAT, but about one in seven gives only a figure including VAT. AI picked these as the same kind of work and can be wrong, so check what each one included before you price.
