The initiative, divided into two lots, aims to support the provision of care services in Datchworth Green, Hertfordshire, and in sites across North Essex. Key awards were made on 12th June 2026 with the contracts commencing on 1st August 2026, extending potentially until 31st July 2032. The industry category is primarily focused on Health and Social Work services, with the procurement adhering to the light-touch regime, and featuring an open procurement method.
