These services, classified under CPV code 85000000, aim to provide support for adults over 18 with diverse conditions. The procurement falls under a limited method with a direct award to nine incumbent providers for a period from 1st December 2024 to 2nd February 2025.

The chosen suppliers, including Guardian Homecare UK Ltd, HomeCare for You Ltd, and several others, reflect a demand for quality and social value-oriented services. Companies with expertise in supporting adults with mental and physical health conditions as well as community-based support skills have the potential to collaborate with local authorities like Bolton Council to expand their service offerings and reach a broader client base.

These services are for all adults over the age of 18, with a diverse range of presenting conditions, needs and requirements. The Council went out to tender for a new provision (TC031 - Home and Community Based Support) which is currently in the evaluation stage.

The Council will observe a 10-day standstill from the date of publication of this VEAT.
