## Summary

The Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking a service provider for a care and support service centred around four bungalows located on Retford Road, Kirkby in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This contract, valued at £1.5 million, falls within the Health and social work services category and is currently in the award stage, having been published on 9th May 2018. The contract period is set to begin on 8th May 2018 and will last until 7th May 2022, while the tender period concluded on 5th January 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the social care sector, particularly those who provide community support services, residential care, or related health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to pursue this contract, as the council aims to support service users in maintaining their independence while promoting social inclusion and life skills development.

## Notice

Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking to appoint a care/support provider with the purpose of supporting Retford Road Supported Living Scheme to enable Service Users to maintain their home, promote independence, increase life skills, social inclusion and to support the Service Users to achieve maximum choice and control in their lives. The care and support provider will support residents in four bungalows, one of which will be used for emergency accommodation, the other three will be long term homes for people who need support. It is envisioned that one or two residents will need 24 hour waking support and the other one or two will benefit from there being a staff presence for 24 hours (rather than needing direct support).
