## Summary

The Doncaster Council has issued a tender titled 'Social Prescribing' in the health and social work services industry category. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period closing on November 28, 2022. The contract period is scheduled to start on April 1, 2023, and end on March 31, 2024.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses providing social work and related services, social services, and community health services to engage with the council. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete for this tender. Businesses interested in supporting non-medical needs within the community should consider participating in this procurement process.

## Notice

Social Prescribing is defined as a means of enabling medical services to refer patients with social, emotional and/or practical and other needs to a diverse range of local non-medical sources of support within the community often provided by the voluntary and community sectors. (It is estimated that around 20% of GP appointments are for 'non-medical' needs, which is as frustrating for GPs as it is for patients, as a 10-minute consultation producing a medicine prescription is often not appropriate).
