The contract value is £35,650,000.

The procurement was led by Leicester City Council on behalf of itself and the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB).

Services support individuals to access daytime activities that meet social care and health needs, such as IT training, cooking, confidence building, friendship groups, sports, leisure activities, household management, exercise, mindfulness, gardening, art therapy, and visits to parks, museums, or days out.

Framework Agreements were awarded for each of five lots, with no maximum number of providers per lot.

Lots 1 to 4 are commissioned for the Authority only, while Lot 5 is commissioned for both the Authority and the LLR ICB.

The procurement was conducted under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services, similar to an Open procedure.
