The estimated value of the contract is £100,000, with a minimum bid threshold of £50,000, located in the East of England. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) to support critical social services within the community.

Participating in this procurement could not only enhance service delivery but also aid in expanding the successful bidder's business in the health and social care sector. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 20 February 2017 for the following reason: Submission Deadline Extended to 4pm on Thursday 23rd February 2017.Bedford Borough Council ('the Council') is inviting organisations to submit a tender for the provision of a Home from Hospital and Reablement Service.
