The total value of the contract is set at £38,205.44, with the contract having been awarded to Springfield Home Care Services Limited, a large-scale supplier based in West Yorkshire.

The detailed awards process and substantial contract duration offer stability and a consistent revenue stream for the winning tenderer.
