Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council has awarded a contract for the provision of a Dementia Information and Advice Service, specifically aimed at delivering support within the county of Warwickshire. The successful bidder is the Alzheimer's Society, tasked with implementing the service from 1st April 2026, with the contract set to run until 31st March 2029, and options for extensions available. This procurement, completed through an open procedure, focuses on community health services under a "light touch regime" and seeks to provide a single point of access for those undergoing dementia diagnosis or supporting those navigating the subsequent care pathways. The total gross value of the contract is £1,430,415, with the legal framework based on the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2023. The key elements encapsulate early intervention, preventative support, and leveraging community resources to augment the service quality for the dementia-affected populace.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses embedded in community and health services provision, particularly those with capabilities in delivering comprehensive care models for mental health and elderly care. Companies with expertise in tailoring personalised support strategies, facilitating peer-led group support, and enhancing community engagement initiatives will find this contract particularly aligned with their service offerings. Moreover, Warwickshire County Council's commitment to fostering partnerships with third sector organisations such as the Alzheimer's Society underscores the value placed on collaborative and impactful service delivery, potentially opening avenues for subcontracting and strategic partnerships for smaller enterprises and social ventures looking to make a mark in the community health services sector.

Notice Title

Dementia Information and Advice Service

Notice Description

Please note: In the Contract Award Notice 2025/S 000-080864 reference was made in the procurement description to Dementia Day Opportunities Service ref 0010, this was incorrect and should have read as Dementia Information and Advice as detailed below. Warwickshire County Council (the Council) has commissioned a single provider to deliver a dementia information and advice service. Warwickshire County Council supports a large and growing population of people living with dementia. These individuals and their families often require support, information, and advice to help guide them through the pathway to receive a diagnosis and navigate the pathways for assistance, support, and advice. This is acknowledged to be a high-risk area for the system with negative impact on non-elective admissions, carer breakdown, and increased permanent admissions to residential and/ or nursing care. The service will provide early intervention and preventative support through: - Offering a Warwickshire based team of specialist dementia advisers - A single point of access to information and advice following a diagnosis of dementia or to those going through the diagnostic journey - Signposting to support services available - Empowering healthier lifestyle choices to prevent cognitive decline - Practical and low-level emotional support to promote greater emotional resilience - Support access to peer-led group support - Delivery of information around dementia awareness and coping strategies for informal carers This was an open procedure to commission a dementia information and advice service within Warwickshire. During the course of the contract period the range and scope of these services may be subject to modification and variation to meet the changing needs and requirements of the Council, potential changes in legislation and the changing demands placed on the Council by its customers.
