Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council has successfully completed a tender process for the provision of Dementia Support Services, with a focus on delivering specialist information, advice, and guidance in local communities across the Essex County area. This contract engages health and social care service providers to support person-centred care for individuals living with dementia and their families. The award, announced on 14th July 2025, under an open procedure, went to the Alzheimer's Society, valued at £17 million with a gross amount of £20.4 million. The contract is set to commence on 1st October 2025 and run until 30th September 2028, offering a framework with the possibility of additional call-offs by Essex County Council or the NHS for specific needs-led projects in the UKH3 region.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly within the health and social care sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations focused on providing community-based care services, particularly those with expertise in dementia care, are well-positioned to benefit. Companies with the ability to deliver innovative, needs-specific interventions aligned with the tender's criteria for technical quality, price, and social value could greatly leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolio within the public sector framework, potentially partnering with or assisting in the delivery of additional services as required under the contract's optional provisions.
