Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council has completed the procurement process for the "CBC-1855-T-LS Dementia Post-Diagnostic Support Services," aimed at providing comprehensive dementia support services in Bedfordshire, excluding Luton. The process reached the contract award stage, with the contract awarded to Tibbs Dementia Foundation. The total contract value is £810,540, spanning from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with an option to extend for two additional years, bringing potential opportunities for continued partnership until March 2031. The procurement was conducted using the open procedure method, ensuring a transparent and competitive process within the services category, specifically targeting community health services. The award notice was published on 22nd December 2025. Key dates include the end of the standstill period on 6th January 2026 and a scheduled contract signature by 16th January 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services to engage with public sector contracts, especially those focused on community and dementia-related services. The process was open to diverse organisations, though the final award did not record any participation from SMEs or VCSEs at the final stage, indicating strong competition possibly among larger enterprises. Businesses with expertise in delivering specialised health services are particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders, given their potential to expand service offerings and establish strong ties with local government authorities, enhancing their reputation and portfolio of public contracts.
