It is expected that the successful care service provider will commence support at Midpoint initially from an expected date of 1st July 2022, and then at The Stewarts once ready to launch. We currently envisage the Stewarts being available for service delivery from an estimated period of 6 months after the contract start date. It is HPFT's intention to set up the Intensive Enablement Service at The Stewarts within the contract duration for Midpoint, however this is not guaranteed. Timescales for the development of The Stewarts will be confirmed to the successful tenderer as soon as they are known.
