Three support moves for Gloucestershire and the South West land within 48 hours

A national procurement framework place, a county SEND strategy and a community veterans network were announced in the same window, showing support services being arranged at different levels.

Business News South West reported that FourNet has secured a place on the government's £14 billion G-Cloud 15 framework, giving public sector organisations access to its cloud communications, contact centres, networking and cybersecurity services [1]. Gloucestershire County Council said its cabinet will be asked to approve a five-year strategy for SEND places and support closer to home, citing continued growth in demand [3]. The HIVE in the Forest of Dean said it hopes to help thousands more veterans across Gloucestershire [2]. Taken together, the items show support provision being expanded or made more accessible through a national procurement route, a county council strategy and a community-based network.
