Interested parties had until 9th May 2017 to submit tenders for this project. The total contract value is £30,000 and is classified under the Community action programme category (CPV code: 85322000). This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses engaged in social services and community outreach.

The MCW programme is about tackling loneliness and social isolation, improve wellbeing and reduce preventable health and social care service usage.
