It was agreed that the
council shall proceed to award a Contract for the purposes of
delivering care and support at the Horley SIL scheme to Active

Community Accomodation with Care and Support Dynamic Purchasing
system.

of care and support services at the Councils new scheme in Horley
when construction is completed in September 2025.
