This open procedure is targeted above the threshold, and the tender stage began with the notice publication on 12th November 2024. The procurement will close on 10th December 2024, with the service contract starting on 1st March 2025 and running through to 28th February 2030. The service, valued at £6.6 million, requires providers to be registered within Knowsley and have a minimum Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating of "requires improvement", with either an existing registration for under-65s or a willingness to vary their registration to comply.
