(b) the possibility of other facilities ancillary to children's services
and the wellbeing of children generally. These may include social services
and healthcare facilities;
(c) the possibility of cultural centres;
(d) the possibility of the provision of wireless networking across
Scunthorpe (WAN); and
(e) the possibility of leisure facilities (together the "Relevant
Facilities") in the contracting authorities' area.
These Partnering Services will also comprise of the following services:
(a) strategy advisory services;
(b) programme management services;
(c) project development services;
(d) procurement consultancy services; and
(e) procurement and delivery or management of all services required to
deliver the strategic investment programme for the Relevant Facilities
(including through the provision, integration and management of supply
chain arrangements).
It is anticipated that such service may include:
(i) architectural services;
(ii) engineering services;
(iii) construction services;
(iv) technical services;
(v) building services;
(vi) hard facilities management services;
(vii) soft facilities management technical services (likely to be

include the LEP, third party equity providers and supply chain members.
