This tender is classified under the health and social care sector, with a total estimated value of £300 million. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 1 March 2019. The services are aimed at supporting residents with eligible social care needs throughout Cambridgeshire and Royston in Hertfordshire.

This dynamic structure not only facilitates business growth but also fosters a competitive environment tailored to responsiveness in the evolving social care landscape.
