They will be required to demonstrate at ITT stage that they are capable of meeting the service specification and quality standards required by the Council.

Bidders are expected to operate the service from a base either within the borough of St Helens or from a base in a local authority that shares a geographic border with St Helens.
The service is predominantly for older people, but will also be for any adult with a physical or learning disability, those with dementia and on occasion those at end of life.
The service will operate between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., 365 days a year.
