This initiative, predominantly located in the Peterborough City Council Unitary Authority area, aims to aid elderly, vulnerable, and disabled residents. The procurement method is an open procedure under the UK Procurement Act 2023, with an electronic submission deadline set for 21st April 2026, followed by an award period ending on 21st May 2026. The contract period is planned to commence on 17th June 2026 through to 16th June 2029, with a potential extension to align with the overall framework term ending on 9th June 2034.
