Notice Information

Notice Title

Independent Living Support Services (Older People)

Notice Description

The Independent Living Support Service (ILS), delivered by Curo, provides vital housing-related support and community-based interventions that enable older adults to live independently, prevent deterioration in health, and delay or reduce the need for more intensive care services. With an aging population and increasing demand for preventative support, this service plays a crucial role in reducing social isolation, supporting self-care, and ensuring individuals can remain safely in their homes. The service also provides task-based enablement support, financial management guidance, and connections to wider community resources. Due to system limitations in the Find a Tender Service (FTS), the contract signature date shown in this notice does not reflect the actual contract signature date the contract was signed on 28.04.2025
