Community 1st – Your Approved Partner
About Us
Community 1st was formed as a partnership between the private sector and the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in 2004 with a clear mission to provide expert estate services to develop and maintain community-based primary health, social care and other community premises.
A full procurement exercise was carried out and the result was the formation of three separate companies. We were procured to provide a wide range of estate services in the Oldham, Sheffield, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly areas for an initial period of 25 years.
We are approved to work in these geographic area’s without any further procurement process for every Service that we provide.
