Kent County Council are looking to commission Community Based Wellbeing services that are designed to promote wellbeing for older people (aged 55+), adults with dementia, adults with physical disabilities, adults with sensory impairments, and adult carers.

Lot 4 - Universal Support in the Community in Ashford, Canterbury & Swale
Lot 5 - Universal Support in the Community in Dartford, Gravesham & Swanley
Lot 6 - Specialist Support in the Community for Adults with a Physical Disability
The Contracts will commence on 1st April 2022 and will run for a period of 3 years (expiring 31st March 2025), with the option for two extensions of up to one year each at the discretion of the Council, unless terminated in accordance with the published Conditions of Contract.
