## Summary

The latest procurement process involves the NHS Shared Business Services, which has awarded a contract titled "Singing for the Brain for people with Dementia in West London." This contract falls under the health services category and is located in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action, and the contract period extends from April 1, 2021, to September 30, 2021. The contract variation increases the existing contract value by £6,700, bringing the total to £13,400. Key dates include the award date on March 26, 2021, and the publication date on April 9, 2021.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those that focus on community support and arts-based activities for individuals with dementia. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for future contracts of this nature, as the winning supplier, Alzheimers Society, demonstrates the kind of organisation that could effectively manage and deliver such services. Engaging in this sector can help businesses grow through the provision of tailored solutions that enhance the quality of life for individuals in the community.

## Notice

Singing for the Brain sessions are designed to help families with dementia feel part of society where they have a right to artistic and social stimulation. The sessions have been developed around the principles of music therapy and singing that can provide benefit in the management of dementia. Additional information: This is an existing service that has been in place since 2019/2020. The CCG has assessed that the service needs to continue whilst a review is completed and new commissioning plans are developed by the newly formed North West London CCG from April 2021. The existing contract is being modified through contract variation to extend its term by 6 months. The existing value of the contract of PS13,400 will increase by PS6,700 during this additional term.
