This initiative addresses the needs of individuals with hearing and visual impairments within the region, emphasising a person-centred, flexible service. The contract was signed on 10 December 2025 and will commence on 1 January 2026, with a term lasting until 31 December 2030, subject to a potential extension until 2032.

Suitable parties include small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as demonstrated by the involvement of Sight Support West of England, a regional SME specialising in sensory impairment services. The requirement to deliver comprehensive support and facilitate equipment access amplifies the scope for businesses with expertise in assistive technology and community outreach, enabling growth through partnership with public sector authorities.
