Quality Criteria 100%

Quality matters most. You can win without being the cheapest.

The buyer expects to buy this again around September 2031.

What the notice says

The overall aims of the Service are to enable people who need care to be as independent, active and safe as possible; to prevent, delay or reduce people's care needs, so far as possible; and to work in an integrated, person-centred way.

Tick what applies to you. Nothing is saved.
