The Borough Council of Bolton ("the Authority") is prepared to receive tenders for Care & Repair Service Procurement which will be subject to the information, specification and tender package enclosed. Bolton Care and Repair is the umbrella brand name for the Authority's Home Improvement Agency with the aim to promote independence and wellbeing amongst our disabled and vulnerable children and adults ensuring they prosper by enabling them to live independently at home for as long as they want and are able to ensure their home is suitable and fit to live in. The Bolton Care and Repair Service (the "Service") has been developed using best practice and in line with statutory guidance to provide a range of interventions. The Service is designed to assist residents (the "Service User") through a wrap-around approach, to both the home and the person. The Service aims to: • Provide a range of preventative support to older and vulnerable households, • Help people to live independently and remain in their own homes or explore more appropriate housing options if this is not possible, • Support the provision of health and social care in the community through the provision of safe, accessible and warm places to live, • Reduce the numbers of people living in poor housing conditions, • Provide a customer centred approach to meeting needs
