## Summary

The Great Yarmouth Borough Council is currently conducting an open tender for the "Social Prescribing Pilot," a project aimed at enhancing community support through the engagement of 'Living Well Connectors.' This initiative, funded by the Improved Better Care Fund and Public Health, will take place in Great Yarmouth and will provide services for an initial duration of 12 months, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The tender period is set to close on 12 March 2018, and the contract is expected to commence on 1 April 2018, ending on 31 March 2020. This procurement is classified under social work services, with the expectation that bidders will primarily come from the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sectors.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations within the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sectors to contribute to local residents' well-being while establishing a foothold in the public sector. Companies specialising in community engagement, social work, and related services would be particularly well-suited to participate. By providing the Living Well Connectors, successful bidders will not only enhance their service offerings but also strengthen their community ties, which can lead to further contracts and partnerships in similar projects within the region.

## Notice

Funding from the Improved Better Care Fund and Public Health has been made available for a two-year pilot in Great Yarmouth. Partners from across Health, Social Care and the Borough Council have agreed a proposal which will see 'Living Well Connectors' engaging with local residents, finding out what matters to them and 'co-producing' a plan to link them with appropriate support as an alternative to, or to complement medical intervention. They will enable and support residents to take up activities within the community which build on their strengths to address needs and meet aspirations. The Council are seeking to commission an organisation to directly employ the Living Well Connectors and provide the services detailed in the specification for an initial period of 12 months with an option to extend for a further period of 12 months. This is an open tender, but the Council anticipate that bidders will be from the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector.
