Market Engagement Notice: EOTIS Coordinator Services

Through this process, the Council aims to expand the range and diversity of providers available to support children and young people accessing EOTIS provision. The EOTIS Coordinator will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and monitoring all aspects of a child or young person's EOTIS package.
