Currently in the planning stage, this procurement will lead to new service provisions from April 2019, as existing contracts expire in March 2019. A key milestone in this process is the engagement end date set for 1st June 2018. A market engagement event is scheduled for 6th June 2018, held at Hampshire House, Eastleigh, with registration instructions available on the In-Tend portal. This tender presents a significant opportunity for service providers within the social care sector, particularly those focusing on support for carers and dementia-related services. Businesses that specialise in social work services without accommodation, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to participate. Engaging in this procurement process could enable these organisations to expand their service offerings and establish essential contracts with local authorities, ultimately contributing to their growth and sustainability. ## Notice Hampshire County Council is intending to procure countywide service provision that provides a range of information, advice and support activities to individuals in a caring role - and also to individuals with Dementia (and those caring for them). Contracts for the current provision of these services are due to expire at the end of March 2019 and a procurement exercise will be taking place ahead of this to enable new service provision to take effect from April 2019. Service delivery activities under consideration include: * Emergency planning for carers. * Carers advice and information provision (on a generic basis). * Specialist dementia advisor services that provide a mechanism for facilitating access to appropriate care, support, information and advice. We would like to invite providers to participate in a market engagement event to consider the nature of this future service provision. The event will be taking place on : Wednesday 6th June 2018, 10am-12pm, in the Chilworth Room, Ground Floor, Hampshire House, 84-98 Southampton Road, Eastleigh, S050 5PA.
