Notice Title
Delivery of Everyday Life Activities, Skills Development and Training Opportunities for People in the Community (SC 220172) July 2023
Notice Description
Kent County Council are looking to add new providers to the Delivery of Support, Skills Development and Training Opportunities for People in the Community contract (EDLA) in April 2023. Existing providers on the new EDLA Contract which went live on 1 October 2022 need not re-apply only unless they want to be considered for lots they are not currently part of (not including lot1b which is now closed). The new arrangements are more flexible than the previous day opportunities contract, for example, in terms of units and methods of delivery following learning from the pandemic and will evolve over the life of the contract. There is a focus upon making a positive difference for the people we support every day, ensuring that they live as full and safe a life as possible and make informed choices. It is expected that the opportunity including all associated documentation will be published on the 21st July 2023, with a start date for the new contractual arrangements of the 1st October 2023 for new providers.
