Kent County Council is currently engaged in a procurement process for the "Community Based Wellbeing Services: Lots 4, 5 and 6" project, which aims to enhance wellbeing services for older people, adults with dementia, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, and adult carers. This initiative falls under the category of "Other community, social and personal services" and encompasses the South East of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is at the award stage, with contracts scheduled to commence on 1st April 2022 and run for three years, expiring on 31st March 2025, with the possibility of two one-year extensions.
