This procurement is at the active tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 31 May 2018. The services are to be delivered in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire (excluding Bassetlaw), with a contract value of approximately £666,688. The procurement follows an open procedure, aimed at securing essential post-diagnostic support for individuals with dementia and their carers, and includes provisions for training and resources to community organisations. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses in health and social care, particularly those specialising in dementia support services or related areas. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract, given its focus on providing comprehensive support and resources to enhance patient care and independence. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in service delivery, training, or resource development and have a presence in the East Midlands are encouraged to consider participation in this tender process. ## Notice The Dementia Support Service will be expected to provide post-diagnostic support, including 1:1 support, to people with dementia and their carers in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire excepting Bassetlaw, to make sure they are able to successfully manage the transitions associated with dementia. The service will also be expected to provide written resources and training for generalist organisations in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire and work alongside them to develop and deliver joint group activities. The procurement will secure a service that will develop and circulate appropriate resources to make sure patients and their carers are informed and supported to make decisions around their own care and support need; it will also offer support to patients and carers during periods where transition management is needed, working alongside other health, social care and community and voluntary sector professionals and offering practical help and support to minimise stress and risk during key periods and maximise independence and choice wherever safe and appropriate.
