We would like the supplier to have in place a contract manager who can manage the account and liaise with the school and community settings to coordinate topping up stock delivery along with coordinating the online ordering for young people. This could include receiving orders from school and community settings via email / online forms set up for Flintshire settings to place orders through / phone calls to settings / online forms for young people to place orders through.
This notice is enquiring if there is appetite for this model. If a supplier has any examples of working with a model such as the above or a model similar, we would be very interested to hear from you and your thoughts on this approach.
Please contact Emma McIntyre to show a noted interest and any examples of working in this way by the close of Friday 14th June.
