About

capitalEsourcing awarded a contract to Octavia Foundation PLC for the delivery of a community-based outreach and befriending service aimed at older people in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster City Council areas.

The service addresses isolation exacerbated by the pandemic, providing support to prevent acute situations and ensure older people feel valued and connected.

The contractor is required to report on demographics and increase equality of access for those most in need, meeting language and cultural needs through a diverse volunteer base, thereby tackling health inequalities in BAME communities.

The contract is for an initial 18 months with an option to extend for a further 6 months, during which services will be redesigned and a competitive procurement exercise undertaken for future provision.

The contract value is £231,206.
