This service, classified under Community Health Services (CPV 85323000), aims to support individuals transitioning from hospital care by providing short-term reablement-focused assistance. The contract, awarded through a direct award process as part of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, will commence on 1st April 2025, lasting for one year.
