## Summary

Wigan Council has recently completed a tender process for the "339 - Handy Person Service", classified under repair and maintenance services. The procurement method was an open procedure, with the tender period officially closing on 13th August 2021. This service, aimed at supporting older adults to live independently and safely in their homes, is anticipated to enhance community living in Wigan, UKD3. The contract has a total value of £268,000, signed on 10th September 2021, and is set to provide essential assistance to vulnerable homeowners.

This contract presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses focusing on social care, home maintenance, and community services. Companies that specialise in providing hands-on support such as minor repairs, safety modifications, and holistic home assessments would be particularly well-suited to compete for this service. Engaging in this tender allows businesses to contribute to community welfare while fostering growth through long-term partnerships with local authorities. Providers can leverage their expertise in enhancing the quality of life for older adults, thereby capturing a vital sector of the social care market.

## Notice

Wigan Council is committed to meeting the aspirations and needs of older adults to enable people to live well in their own homes and communities. A fundamental part of this is the provision of the best possible support to help people to live happy and fulfilled lives, as independently as possible. A handyperson service is a local organisation dedicated to helping people to live in safety and with dignity in their own homes. The service will work holistically to ensure that existing housing is fit for purpose and that vulnerable people, predominantly homeowners but not exclusively, are able to continue living independently as long as possible. The services will offer older people extra help with small practical jobs to make their lives easier and safer around the home and discuss the person's further aspirations or needs through a 'Healthy Home Conversation', that explores more broadly if further connections, signposting or support can be offered. The handyperson is a charged-for service using a fixed fee plus the cost of any materials used.
