Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for a contract titled "Dementia Café and Singing for the Brain - C405874" involves the NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board, a body governed by public law with its operations in London, United Kingdom. This tender falls within the services category, specifically psychiatrist or psychologist services. The contract aims to provide high-quality cognitive stimulation services for individuals affected by dementia in Islington, encouraging social connections among the residents. The procurement method utilised is a limited, direct award process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, valued at £173,225.00 and spanning from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, was awarded on 17 February 2026 and includes a three-year term with an optional two-year extension.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those specialising in dementia care and cognitive stimulation services. Given the focus on quality, innovation, integration, collaboration, and social value, companies committed to enhancing access and reducing health inequalities stand in good stead to compete. The existing contractual arrangement with the Alzheimer's Society underlines a requirement for continuity and demonstrated expertise in delivering services that meet the stated criteria. Businesses capable of providing innovative solutions that improve both service sustainability and social integration in the Islington area are well-suited for future tender opportunities with the NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board.
