UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council commissioned dementia day opportunities as a health and social care service in North Somerset. The service is intended to help prevent people’s care needs from becoming more serious or delay the impact of those needs, while providing respite for carers of people living with dementia. Delivery is associated with the North Somerset area, and the selected provider is based in Weston-super-Mare. The requirement is for organisations able to provide structured daytime support for people with dementia, with an understanding of changing care needs and the practical pressures faced by carers. It is a council-funded service rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is likely to suit specialist dementia support, day service and community care providers.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, under the light-touch regime. It comprised one completed lot. North Somerset Council awarded the contract to ACCESS YOUR CARE LIMITED, an SME. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 13 April 2028. Its value is £36,000 excluding VAT and £43,200 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome records health and social work services as the procurement category. The procurement was therefore concluded without a competitive tender, with the selected supplier appointed to provide the dementia day opportunities service for the stated contract period.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined need from North Somerset Council for dementia-focused daytime care and support, including outcomes that reduce or delay escalating care needs and provide respite for carers. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in dementia services, the ability to provide safe and consistent daytime activities or support, and experience responding to the needs of people whose conditions may change. It would also need to work effectively with carers and the council around care planning and service delivery. The appointment of an SME indicates that delivery at this scale is within reach of focused specialist providers, rather than requiring a large national organisation.
