On 13 July 2021, the CCG made a decision to re-let the Swindon Adult Community Health Services contract to GWH for a further 2-year period until February 2024. On 1 December 2021, SBC made the decision to re-let their element of the contract for Swindon Adult Community Health Services contract to GWH for a further 2-year period until February 2024.
