Furthermore, SMEs like Liberty Support Services Limited and 1st Enable Limited have been successful in securing the contracts for different lots, demonstrating the council's commitment to supporting small and medium enterprises in the region. The emphasis on assistive technology and person-centred approach further presents opportunities for innovation and efficiency in service delivery.
