    Brief

    Central Bedfordshire Council is seeking market feedback on potential delivery models for an Information, Advice and Guidance Service. This Request for Information (RFI) is designed to gather intelligence on provider capabilities, available capacity, and innovative service delivery approaches that will inform the council's future service design and commissioning strategy. The exercise is exploratory in nature and does not represent a formal procurement tender. Providers are invited to share their experience, expertise, and ideas on how these services could be effectively delivered to residents requiring support with information, advice, and guidance across various areas including benefits, housing, health, and employment. Responses will help the council understand the breadth of solutions available in the market before moving toward formal procurement.
