<p><span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif">Please note - Cumbria is currently undergoing a Local Government Reorganisation and from 1<sup>st</sup> April 2023 (Vesting Day) Cumbria County Council and the six district councils will cease to exist and will be replaced by two new unitary councils – Cumberland Council and Westmorland and Furness Council. Consequently, this countywide service is being reprocured by the County Council as two separate contracts one which covers the geographical footprint of Cumberland Council (Allerdale, Carlisle and Copeland) and one which covers the geographical footprint of Westmorland and Furness Council (Barrow, Eden and South Lakeland). One provider is required to deliver both contracts. The County Council will enter into the contracts with the successful provider and on Vesting Day the contracts will transfer automatically by an operation of law to the relevant new council. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif">In the service specification which, is identical for both contracts, “Council” means either Cumberland Council or Westmorland and Furness Council as the context requires.</span></p>
