## Summary

Suffolk County Council is seeking a delivery partner for the "Connecting Communities - Mobile Social Prescribing Services" contract, classified under community health services. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract value set at £449,352. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1 March 2020 and extend until 31 March 2023. Notably, the tender submission deadline was 23 October 2019. The primary location for the service delivery is in Suffolk, United Kingdom, specifically targeting areas experiencing rural and social isolation.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with a focus on community engagement and support for vulnerable populations.

This project aims to build a network of local service provision, making it ideal for organisations that can provide flexible, community-centric solutions in collaboration with local stakeholders.

## Notice

Suffolk County Council is seeking a delivery partner for social prescribing services. The Council is part of an EU funded programme to develop local community-based services to improve the health and wellbeing of older populations affected by rural and social isolation and deprivation. The programme will create a mobile social prescribing 'plus' scheme which will have the same components as a traditional social prescribing scheme but will be sited within a wider framework of early intervention and prevention services. The provider will be expected to work closely with East Suffolk communities teams and SCC localities and partnerships teams to identify and develop a network of local service provision primarily within the non-statutory sector but linking to statutory bodies as appropriate. The tender submission deadline date is 23 October 2019 at 12 noon.
