## Summary

East Sussex County Council has concluded a contract through an open procurement process for the provision of care and support services at 508 Seaside Road, Eastbourne. The contract, which falls within the health and social work services industry category, is part of the Council's Adult Social Care supported housing programme. The new service provider, CARE SANTE KENT LIMITED, is set to commence operations on 1st October 2025, with services to be provided over an initial period running until 1st October 2030. The contract was signed on 15th October 2025, just weeks before service commencement, and possesses the possibility for extension of up to 24 months beyond the initial end date, if deemed necessary by the Council. The initiative contributes to facilitating a supportive living environment for individuals with physical and mental health support needs in the East Sussex region.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the care sector seeking growth through government partnerships. The open procurement process means it was accessible to a wide range of bidders, focusing on high-quality service provision with strict adherence to industry standards such as registration with the Care Quality Commission. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), especially those with experience in supported housing and care services, are well-suited to engage in similar future tenders, expanding their operational scope and enhancing their presence in local government-led schemes. Such contracts ensure stable revenue streams and long-term business relationships within the public healthcare and social services sectors.
