This tender issued by the Cambridgeshire County Council offers a chance for businesses to provide sustainable specialised day opportunities for adults with Acquired Brain Injuries. Companies that can offer cost-effective, quality day provision, with appropriately trained staff and facilities meeting regulatory standards, would be well-suited to compete.
