Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for Dementia Support Services as part of its preliminary market engagement exercise, scheduled to conclude with responses by midday on 10th May 2021. This process, currently in the planning stage, aims to gather insights from the market to inform upcoming procurement decisions. The procurement pertains to health and social work services, and activities will primarily take place in England, United Kingdom, following the potential issuance of a separate Contract Notice should the Council proceed to formal procurement.

This opportunity is particularly relevant for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in dementia care and support services. Businesses that can provide preventative screening and both pre- and post-diagnostic support for dementia patients will find this engagement beneficial. Participation in this RFI will allow companies to showcase their capabilities and potentially shape the Council’s procurement approach, positioning them effectively for future tenders in this sector.
