    "description": "Norfolk County Council (NCC) is looking for a provider who understands the importance of statutory insurance inspections, and who can  deliver the testing, certification, and reporting required by regulations that fall under LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) and PSSR (Pressure Systems Safety Regulations).\nPlease note that  Norfolk County Council has joined the government\u0027s Devolution Priority Programme.\nThis process has the potential to lead to the establishment of a county combined authority for Norfolk and Suffolk, with strategic powers, headed by an elected mayor. A\nGovernment has also invited participation by Norfolk in Local Government Review. This process has the potential to lead to unitary local government in Norfolk, being either one unitary or more than one.\nOne of these changes could happen without the other.",
