## Summary

The East Sussex County Council's Adult Social Care and Health Department has issued a tender titled "ESCC SS Tender for the Provision of Day Opportunities in the Phoenix Centre, Lewes," aiming to provide day services for older individuals aged 55 and above with eligible social care needs. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 14th November 2018. The total contract value ranges from £685,440 to £913,920, with services expected to commence on 1st April 2019 and run until 31st March 2022, all centred in Lewes, East Sussex, under the health and social work services industry category.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses looking to enter or expand within the social care sector, particularly those specialising in care services for the elderly. Companies with experience in providing non-residential welfare and support services, especially those that can cater to clients with varying levels of dementia and personal care needs, will be well-suited to compete. With the potential to increase capacity from the current 19 to approximately 25 places per day at the Phoenix Centre, there is room for businesses to propose innovative solutions that can enhance the quality of care and operational efficiency.
