What is being bought

Published requirement description

Please note this contract opportunity is closed and this is an award notice (for the contract).

The aim of the Service is to support older people to continue to live independently in their own homes within the community.

The building at Reardon Court is currently under construction and expected to be handed over in late Spring 2024 (following a building completion delay, although initial plan was to be handed over in March 2024). The contracting authority owns the property and service users will pay affordable rent.

The contract is for an initial term of 5 years, and it is anticipated this shall commence from the

commencement date of mobilisation Service which will be determined taking the completion of the building into account. A mobilisation phase of up to three (3) months (or as advised by the contracting authority in writing) for the mobilisation Services is expected to be in place starting from the commencement date.

The contracting authority, at its absolute sole discretion, may exercise an option to extend the contract at the end of the initial five (5) year term, for a further period or periods of up to 2 years.
