About
Kent County Council awarded a contract to The Furnishing Service for the delivery of beds and bedding accessories to children aged 4 to 16 from financially constrained families.
The project, known as 'Sleep Well Kent', aims to address bed poverty by providing essential sleep items to eligible children, with a focus on ensuring all children in a household are considered simultaneously.
The contract, valued at £50,000, involves a professional referral system where referrers complete an online form, and upon eligibility confirmation, orders are placed.
The Furnishing Service is responsible for delivery according to a service level agreement, and the project includes follow-up evaluations and optional removal of unusable items to prevent fly-tipping.
