Summary of the contracting process

The Great Yarmouth Borough Council is currently conducting an open tender for the "Social Prescribing Pilot," a project aimed at enhancing community support through the engagement of 'Living Well Connectors.' This initiative, funded by the Improved Better Care Fund and Public Health, will take place in Great Yarmouth and will provide services for an initial duration of 12 months, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The tender period is set to close on 12 March 2018, and the contract is expected to commence on 1 April 2018, ending on 31 March 2020. This procurement is classified under social work services, with the expectation that bidders will primarily come from the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sectors.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations within the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sectors to contribute to local residents' well-being while establishing a foothold in the public sector. Companies specialising in community engagement, social work, and related services would be particularly well-suited to participate. By providing the Living Well Connectors, successful bidders will not only enhance their service offerings but also strengthen their community ties, which can lead to further contracts and partnerships in similar projects within the region.
