West Sussex care contract success

Housing 21 has been awarded two extra care service contracts in West Sussex.

Under the terms of the contracts, which will begin in October, Housing 21 will provide around 476 guaranteed hours of care each week with a further 200-300 hours as spot purchase.

The two care contracts are with Arthur Bliss House, a Hanover managed extra care scheme in Lindfield and Marten House in Burgess Hill, which is managed by Downland Housing Association.

This latest success follows Housing 21’s recent award of care contracts in Horsham and Crawley, bringing their total in West Sussex to six.

The new contracts will provide 24 hour on-site support to help maximise residents’ independence. TUPE will apply for existing staff.

Commenting on the successful bid, Mary Bryce, Head of Extra Care said: “We are delighted to have been awarded these two contracts with West Sussex County Council.”
