The contract period will commence on 3rd April 2017 and last until 2nd April 2021. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing any eligible supplier to submit proposals. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in social work and community services, particularly those that provide equipment or supportive services for independent living.
