Summary of the contracting process

The Metropolitan Borough of Bury commissioned health and social work services for the Bury Older People’s Network and Bury Dementia Co-Production Network. The provider’s role is to lead engagement with network members and work collaboratively with Council officers, senior Council leads and partner agencies. The work includes developing a high-level vision statement and a detailed action plan for each network, reflecting the needs and aspirations of Bury’s ageing population. It supports the Bury Ageing Well agenda and the Health and Adult Care Ageing Well Strategy 2025–2030. Delivery is in Bury and is aimed at improving how local organisations understand and respond to older people’s and people living with dementia’s needs.

This is a completed, awarded procurement conducted as a below-threshold open competition under the light-touch services regime. One lot was awarded to Bury Voluntary Community & Faith Alliance, an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise. The award was made on 30 July 2026 for £81,000 excluding VAT (£97,200 including VAT). The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with a possible extension to 31 August 2029 subject to review. Two bids reached the final stage, including two from SMEs and one from a VCSE. Electronic submissions were allowed, with bids due by 29 June 2026 at 12:00 and enquiries by 25 June 2026 at 17:00. Evaluation criteria were set out in the procurement documents. A contract signature was scheduled for 17 August 2026.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Bury for community-led engagement and co-production focused on older people, dementia and ageing well. A credible future supplier would need to build trusted relationships with older residents, people living with dementia, voluntary and community groups, Council officers and partner agencies. It would need to facilitate collaborative networks, gather and interpret residents’ views, turn engagement into a clear shared vision, and produce practical action plans aligned with local health and adult social care priorities. Relevant experience in health or social work, community development, public participation, dementia support or ageing-well programmes would be useful. The successful supplier’s SME and VCSE status, alongside the participation of other SMEs, indicates that organisations of this scale and type can compete for the work.
