Notice Description

The Provider is expected to deliver the Provision across the whole of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are a large, mostly rural geographical area which includes economically vibrant areas alongside areas of considerable deprivation.

Service delivery under this contract is expected to commence in October 2016 and continue until September 2019. There will be a further 64 week payment tail. The contract value is PS11,610,000 and there is a requirement for a minimum of 4947 Participants to start on this provision.

The Provision will be delivered through a series of interventions which will focus on the specific needs of the individual.
