This open procurement process consists of a tender period that ends on 2nd August 2019, with the contract anticipated to commence on 1st October 2019 and last until 31st December 2021. This initiative is aligned with the city’s Dementia Strategy to enhance support for individuals affected by dementia, particularly in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for service providers, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their service offerings in the health and social care industry. Businesses that specialise in personalised care services, community engagement initiatives, or dementia-specific support activities are especially encouraged to participate. By addressing the needs of the local community with innovative solutions, bidders will not only contribute positively to public health but could also secure long-term contracts with significant social impact. ## Notice 1. Introduction Background and Rationale In Sheffield there are an estimated 7,000 people of all ages living with dementia, of which approximately 4,000 have a formal diagnosis. The Sheffield Joint Strategic Needs Assessment's chapter on Dementia shows that the number of people aged over 65 with dementia is set to rise to over 10,000 within 15 years if current rates continue. National Context Two recent national publications have been highly influential in shaping our plans: * The Lancet Commission on Dementia * The Prime Minister's Challenge 2020 Both describe dementia as a national (and international) challenge for health and social care services, and society as a whole, but also make clear that changing the lives of people with dementia 'is not just about funding from government, or research by scientists, but understanding and compassion from all of us'. The co-produced National Dementia Statements have also been valuable in shaping our plans. Local Context: Sheffield Dementia Strategy This tender fits with Sheffield's citywide Dementia Strategy and Commitments, which are currently in draft form . The Strategy has been co-produced by statutory and voluntary agencies and by representatives of the dementia community including individuals and their families. * Commitment 4: For people with dementia, support in Sheffield will be more personalised, local and accessible to help people to remain independent for as long as possible. * Commitment 5: We will provide high quality support to families and carers of people with dementia in Sheffield to help people with dementia maintain their independence for as long as possible Local Context: views of people living with dementia and their families In 2012 and 2015 the Council consulted widely with people with dementia and their families and carers. The views were consistent with the National Dementia Statements. People told us: * it is important that people live in dementia friendly communities, where their needs are understood by other citizens and organisations * they need access to good quality information, advice and guidance. In 2018, SHINDIG (Sheffield Dementia Involvement Group) told us: * People with dementia want to be able to continue to pursue existing hobbies, interests and activities or be helped to adapt to new ones. Some of these may be dementia specific and some may be in non-dementia specific settings but these may require dementia awareness-raising * Activities and social events need to be viewed as essential therapeutic services * Peer support is hugely valued and can help people appreciate they are not alone and to come to terms with their diagnosis * People with dementia need to be understood within the context of their families, friends and communities in order for all the necessary people to receive the appropriate support.
