The services, funded by the Better Care Fund, were advertised under two Lots: Lot 1 covering Home from Hospital and Home Support and Reablement, and Lot 2 covering Supporting Independence.

The Home from Hospital and Home Support and Reablement Service includes conveying discharged individuals home from hospital and ensuring their home environment is safe and appropriate to prevent re-admission.

The contract value is £281,460.
