The contract falls under the health and social work services category and is based in Shrewsbury, UK. The procurement is at the Tender stage, with the closing date for submissions set for 1st October 2021. The overall value of the contract is £500,000, with an annual funding allocation of £140,000. The successful provider will enter into a contract starting from 1st November 2021, with a duration of two years and the potential for a one-year extension. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in community development, social care, and health services, especially smaller organisations within the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS). Companies with experience in collaboration with community networks, resource development, and support services for grassroots initiatives may find this contract particularly appealing. By participating in this project, businesses can contribute to vital health and social support systems, particularly in response to challenges arising from the Covid pandemic. ## Notice Community Development activity plays an integral role in the delivery of Shropshire's Social Prescribing model and aims to also support the wider frontline health and social care workforce to support residents using a strengths-based and asset focused approach. Shropshire's capacity to deliver Social Prescribing has grown considerably since its inception in 2017 and the Council now wishes to review and consolidate the community development functions. The Council is seeking a provider, or partnership / consortium of providers, to deliver the Social Prescribing Community Development across the whole of Shropshire Council's area. The successful provider(s) will be responsible for the development of a range of resources such as directories and will support Community Connector networks to enable a wider pool of frontline practitioners and people working within the Voluntary & Community Sector (VCS) to share knowledge and resources that will improve practice. Additionally, relationship building within communities will ensure that where applicable, support groups and volunteers can be connected to infrastructure support which will promote their delivery and longevity. As a consequence of the Covid pandemic, the successful provider(s) will enhance and bolster groups operating at a grass roots level which have formed to support people and communities affected by the pandemic. The funding available for this contract is fixed at PS140,000 per annum. The successful provider(s) will enter into a contract with the Council for an initial period of 2 years plus an option to extend by a further 1 year. The contract will be effective from 1st November 2021. The service is staffed by staff employed by the current provider and applicants should note that it is considered that the Employee 'Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations '2006 ('TUPE') will apply to this contract. Applicants are advised to seek their own legal advice about the practicality of these regulations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d7a22c9e-6e17-47f7-a522-e124211a41b7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 1 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2021 - 31 Oct 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHROPSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | SHREWSBURY | | Post town | Shrewsbury | | Postcode | SY2 6ND | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG22 Shropshire | | Local authority | Shropshire | | Electoral ward | Abbey | | Westminster constituency | Shrewsbury | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 10 Sep 2021 at 08:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d7a22c9e-6e17-47f7-a522-e124211a41b7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d7a22c9e-6e17-47f7-a522-e124211a41b7 10th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Shrewsbury:-AMCV-297---Social-Prescribing-Community-Development/QQHDX3HH66 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
