## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is inviting tenders for the initiative titled "RBK- Dementia Care Home Partners - Soft Market Testing". This procurement falls within the health and social work services category and is located in Kingston upon Thames, England. The current stage of the procurement process is active, with the tender period ending on 28th July 2020. Following this, the contract is set to commence on 4th September 2020 and conclude on 30th September 2020. The procurement is being conducted under 'Other' methods, which indicates flexibility in partnership opportunities.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the care sector, particularly those with expertise in dementia care and facility management. Organisations that excel in delivering innovative health and social care solutions, and those experienced in collaborating with local health partners, will be particularly well-positioned to compete. This project aims to establish a state-of-the-art dementia care centre, thus attracting businesses that specialise in comprehensive care services, including specialist 24-hour care and community-based health services.

## Notice

RBK wish to speak to operators of nursing, care homes and extra care providers to discuss the potential of a partnership to lease and operate a state of the art Dementia Care centre and deliver the services on the site. RBK are open to how that partnership might work contractually and are willing to discuss options to explore alternative use for some internal sections of the site and room configuration. One of the key things RBK wants to achieve from this scheme is a facility which provides a range of dementia care services on the site including 24 hr specialist care, day opportunities, health and care community based services such as memory clinics, and outreach. We are looking for an operator that has a track record of innovation, can work effectively with local health and care partners and provide a centre of excellence for those who purchase their own care, and those who may receive health and/or social care funding.
