Description

The HSE on behalf of Services for Older Persons established the Authorisation Scheme in 2023 (with an initial term of 24 months with the terms being extended for a further 24 months) to secure suitable Service Providers to meet the HSE’s requirements for Home Support Services. The HSE is reopening the Authorisation Scheme to Applicants for a further round of submissions (“Round 4”) under this Invitation to Participate.

No. 130/2010 (The European Communities (Public Authorities' Contracts) (Review Procedures) Regulations 2010) (as amended) (the “Remedies Regulations”).
