Description

This opportunity is for new suppliers to join Kent County Council's current Older Persons Residential Care, Nursing Care and Respite Care Services Dynamic Purchasing System. This will be the final opportunity to join the current Dynamic Purchasing System before the upcoming procurement of a new Older Persons Residential and Nursing Care Homes Services Framework.

PLEASE NOTE that providers require a registered care home for the delivery of this contract and to be included on this Dynamic Purchasing System

The purpose of the service is to provide accommodation, care, support and stimulation to those people in the client group for whom it is not appropriate, either in the short or longer term, to live in their own homes. The service provider should offer residents the opportunity to enhance their quality of life by providing a safe, manageable and comfortable home environment.
