This opportunity presents a significant potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations dedicated to social services.

Barnsley's approach to "social inclusion" will be to further develop the existing service over a three-year period, to develop, deliver and sustain a project that meets the needs of Dearne's' aging population. The key to the sustainability of this project is that the provider recruits' volunteers from the local area, with a focus on recruiting, training, and retaining volunteers of all ages to undertake the role of a befriender and social club assistants.

Under this contract the successful provider will be required to actively contribute to the achievement of specific social value objectives. * Increase volunteering in the Dearne Area by recruiting and training volunteers to work on this project * Develop and facilitate groups that come about from the interests of those attending and the wider public * Reduce loneliness and isolation for the residents of the Dearne Area * Work with all the partners supporting this age group (Age UK, BMBC Health & Social Care, Clinical Commissioning Group and Public Health. * Work with the Dearne Area Council and its partners to look at learning points and gaps that can be met through a partnership approach * Make links with and attend the Dearne Area Council meetings when requested * Work with Barnsley Council and the NHS (the two largest local employers) to explore whether those retiring in the next 12 months could be encouraged to support this project through its inclusion in pre-retirement programmes * Include younger volunteers, particularly to support the tech parts of the project * Local spend ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8eda5a45-0d35-4f1f-8154-4cfeac2c450e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 27 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2022 - 30 Jun 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BARNSLEY METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BARNSLEY, SOUTH YORKSHIRE | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S70 2TA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE33 Barnsley | | Local authority | Barnsley | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Barnsley North | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85140000 - Miscellaneous health services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 30 Mar 2022 at 14:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8eda5a45-0d35-4f1f-8154-4cfeac2c450e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8eda5a45-0d35-4f1f-8154-4cfeac2c450e 30th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=44983&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/103835 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.barnsley.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
