What the buyer is asking for

Swansea Council is establishing a Framework Agreement to commission suitable providers to deliver accessible, community-based activities and support as part of Swansea Council’s Trailblazer programme. Funding for this commission has been secured through the Welsh Government’s Trailblazer fund.
