The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a Market Engagement event scheduled for 24th September from 11am to 12pm. The initiative is directed towards providing essential services to disabled children and young people, up to the age of 18, in Kent.

Companies experienced in working with disabled children and young people, and those offering comprehensive care packages, can significantly benefit from this contract. The engagement process is designed to involve providers in shaping the service model, making it ideal for businesses that are keen to influence future service delivery frameworks. With the demand for specialised care continuously growing, this contract offers the potential for substantial business growth and long-term collaboration with Kent County Council, creating a stable and influential presence in the region's social care market.
