The contract is set to begin on 11th February 2026, with an initial term of one year and an option for renewal, potentially extending until February 2028.

The opportunity underscores significant growth prospects for businesses specialising in high-complexity, supported living services, particularly those with capabilities in managing neurodivergent clients.
