Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

Inverclyde Health & Social Care Partnership is appointing a supplier to deliver continuation of the Community Links Officer service within GP practices in Inverclyde. Additional information: The award is being made to cover a short term of minimum 12, maximum 24 months. During this time a review of all social prescribing services in Inverclyde is being carried out. The incumbent supplier will continue to deliver the programme during the time of this review. This short term award will allow this contact to be aligned with other services

Procurement Information

An external company is evaluating the Community Link Worker service in its current form. A separate evaluation exercise is underway including a scoping exercise of the landscape of Social Prescribing models across Inverclyde. This will provide an overview of gaps in the locality and opportunities for bridging of Social Prescribing models. To allow this evaluation to be fully scoped we will make a direct award to the current provider from period 1st April 2025 - 31st March 2026 with the option of a plus one year. This would bring this CLW contract in line with other Social Prescribing contract end dates. It would also allow the evaluation outcomes to be reviewed, identified gaps analysed and proposals formed around a Social Prescribing model that encompasses multiple Social Prescribing Contracts. It would also allow sufficient time to onward scope an innovative Social Prescribing Hub fit for the future and one that best serves our community.
