Pre-Market Engagement Community Directory

Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) is undertaking a soft market testing exercise to build understanding of the market and improve and capture views on specific aspects of the future requirements for a Community Directory.

Initially, a response to the Care Act 2014 requirement to support people to find information, support and services in their area including those provided by the voluntary sector, the website provides people and professionals with a directory of services on social care, health and wellbeing. The site now also fulfils statutory requirements under the Children's and Families Act 2014, The Childcare Act 2006 and The Accessible Information Standard 2015 by operating as the digital directory for the SEND Local Offer, the Local Offer for Care Leavers, the Virtual Family Hub and information from Ofsted on all registered childcare provision.
