The service, classified under the industry category of social work and related services (CPV: 85300000), aims to provide 24/7 care and support for individuals requiring constant care. The procurement method was a limited tender awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, based on the Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT) notice. The contract, valued at £732,243, was signed on 15th November 2024, with earlier bid statistics indicating one SME bid and one foreign EU bid.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for growth within the social care sector, particularly for organisations capable of delivering comprehensive care services. Businesses within the social work services industry, especially those with experience in supported living services and the capacity to meet the ongoing needs for complex care, stand to benefit. This award reinforces the importance of maintaining high standards and continuity of care, given Quarriers' role as both the property owner and service provider for the past decade.
