## Summary

The Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking to commission a service titled "Support for Isolated and Vulnerable Older People" aimed at addressing the needs of older individuals in Penistone East and West. This open procurement process falls under the health services industry category with an estimated budget of £70,000 for an initial contract period from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017. The tender has a deadline for submissions set for 19th October 2016, making it essential for interested parties to act swiftly to ensure their participation.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on community services, particularly those skilled in social care and community outreach. Organisations capable of fostering community support and resilience, as well as those experienced in creating volunteering and mentoring programmes, will find this an advantageous platform. Additionally, local businesses, especially those within the third sector or voluntary and community social enterprises, are well-suited to compete and potentially contribute positively to the Council's objectives while expanding their operational reach.

## Notice

The Penistone Area Council wants to commission a provider to develop and deliver a service which will address the needs of isolated and vulnerable people, especially older people who live in the Wards of Penistone East and West. The service should complement existing service provision, increase the security, independence, and health and wellbeing of people at the risk of, or experiencing, loneliness and isolation. In developing and delivering this service, the provider should ensure that it is contributing to the Council's Corporate priorities and outcome statements. Sustainability, community support, self-reliance, resilience and reciprocity should therefore be built into the service design and delivery. Also and where possible the opportunity for increased volunteering/mentoring in the area should be incorporated. Again, where possible opportunities for work experience placements, apprentice opportunities, the maximising of local spend and local labour should be used. The contract is for initial period of 12 months from the 1st January 2017 - 31st December 2017 with an option to extend for a further one year at the discretion of the council . The estimated budget for the 12 months is PS70,000
