The project is classified under the health and social work services category, focusing on a psychologically informed and trauma-informed programme to support both residents and staff. The procurement process utilised a direct award approach, awarding the contract to East London Foundation Trust, the only suitable NHS Trust operating in the area. The agreement was signed on 8th July 2025, with the contract valued at £191,836.
