## About this tender

We provide Care 7 days a week to help our older people to live well and age well and to maximise their opportunities and health in later life. The wellbeing and preventative measures that Pengarth implements reduce strain on hospital, GP and emergency service resources. It also supports older people to live at home longer and live well.

A freshly cooked hot meal is provided for clients attending the Hub and we also deliver meals on wheels in our local community.

We also offer transport to and from the Hub which includes a wheelchair accessible vehicle. There's bathing, hairdressing, chiropody, entertainment twice weekly, exercise classes, cognitive therapy and other activities throughout the week. Our services can reduce loneliness, isolation and promotes mental and physical wellbeing.

By giving respite we provide peace of mind to families who may need to be at work or live away. Day Care can give unpaid carers the support they need to care for their loved ones at home for longer.

We are working with Age UK Cornwall to support and help with discharge from hospital. Supporting older people with Day Care and meal deliveries. This allows some people to be discharged earlier, with the community support.

Our services are available on the following days and times:Monday to Friday 9am to 4.30pm Saturdays and Sundays 9am to 3pm.

We are looking to purchase a new vehicle to transport older people in West Penwith to our Day Centre. Having vehicles enables us to pick up the most vulnerable and isolated in our communities. Having only one vehicle at present impacts on the amount of people we are able to support each day. We provide transport as it is more cost effective than people using taxi's and public transport is not an option for a majority of the people that attend as most have cognitive or mobility disabilities.

We plan to buy a fully electric SUV, that will reduce our costs and carbon emissions. The key aspect of the SUV is how close to the ground the access to the seating to enable our clients to access the vehicle.

The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender.
