This includes all older people (65+), carers, adults with sensory, physical or learning disabilities, with an autistic spectrum condition, and adults who have had a stroke or have dementia.
In addition, services are required for sibling and young carers. The overall aim of this tendering exercise is to develop the voluntary and community sector provision in Bedfordshire to ensure that people have access to high quality and effective support solutions that enable them to maintain their wellbeing, remain independent in their own homes and participate in their communities.
