Bi-Borough Post Rehabilitation Step Down Service - Contract Award

The Integrated Commissioning Department of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) and the City of Westminster (WCC) have awarded a contract to Open Age in order to deliver a Post Rehabilitation Step Down Service via the Open (non-OJEU) tender. The Post Rehabilitation Step Down Service provides volunteers for active befriending and to reduce social isolation for clients living in the community and is a key part of the discharge process for a cohort of CIS, Falls Service and Neuro Rehab Service clients.

The service will continue to provide motivational companionship and support through volunteers to older people after periods of intensive input from health care professionals following a fall, stroke or other illness-related disability.

The contract will be up to three (3) years, with the option to extend for a further one (1) year period.
