The services will be provided by Home Group Limited, located in Newcastle Upon Tyne, and the contract period extends from 7th April 2025 to 6th April 2055. The procurement fell under the "services" category, was facilitated under a light-touch regime, and was finalised with a gross value of GBP 664,472.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in supported living services, especially those who can swiftly mobilise resources for urgent needs. Large service providers like Home Group Limited are well-suited for such contracts due to their expansive capabilities and experience in handling significant social services contracts.
