## Summary

The Hull City Council is conducting a selective procurement process for the "HomeFirst Service," aimed at ensuring timely hospital discharges for individuals deemed medically fit. This initiative falls under the industry category of social work and related services, with a total contract value of £500,000. The procurement stage is complete, with the tender period having ended on 1st November 2018, and the contract effective from 10th November 2018 to 20th April 2020. The service delivery will take place in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses in the home care and social services sectors to engage with local authorities and expand their service offerings. Companies specialising in home care support, rehabilitation services, and related fields would be particularly well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. The involvement of smaller enterprises, such as Springfield Home Care Services Ltd and Direct Health UK Ltd, illustrates the potential for smaller service providers to make a meaningful impact in this competitive landscape.
