Summary of the contracting process

Medway Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of an assessment bed service within the Medway area. The awarded contract, valued at £1,284,000 GBP, spans from 1st October 2024 to 31st March 2026. The service, classified under Health and Social Work Services (CPV code 85000000), aims to support working-age adults and older people, with or without dementia, through a residential care provider registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
