This initiative falls under the community health services industry category and aims to support unpaid carers by providing them with activities and peer support to enhance their health and wellbeing. The engagement end date for this opportunity is set for 2nd May 2022, with the service expected to generate a range of beneficial outcomes for older carers, including improved social connections and wellbeing. The procurement process is classified as a tender and is anchored in the provision of services to the community. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that focus on health and social services. Businesses with expertise in supporting care-related programmes, activity coordination, or community engagement are particularly well-suited to compete. Providers are encouraged to demonstrate their capabilities and readiness to enhance the experience of unpaid carers who fulfil essential roles in the community, particularly as new contract opportunities are anticipated to arise alongside the transition to an Integrated Care Board later in 2022. ## Notice NWL CCG requires the provision of a Carers Programme services in Westminster for unpaid carers over 50 years of age who look after older people, or those with physical disabilities, mental health problems or learning disabilities. This service particularly targets those who have little outside support and little time for themselves, outside of their caring role to enable them to connect with other people in a similar situation, reducing feelings of isolation and providing peer support. The aim of the service is to provide service users access to a programme of activities and trips so carers have a break and to help improve their own health and wellbeing. The service is contracted to deliver the following outcomes: * 100 older carers benefit from the service (receive information, telephone support, and/or attend activities). * Minimum of 30 (30/100) older carers enabled to access opportunities for themselves outside of their caring role (includes participating in respite activities / attend sessions) * 65% of carers attending benefit from improved health and wellbeing as a result of accessing this service * 50% of carers attending report more friends / social life (increased number of personal relationships) * 75% of carers attending rating quality of service as good or excellent (reported annually) * 70% of carers attending likely to recommend service to a friend (reported annually) Service users will require: * Information about services; * Telephone support; * Attendance/participation in activities to reduce isolation, provide respite from caring and for personal development The CCG currently has contract arrangements in place with Open Age until 31st March 2022 with a value of PS23,000.00 per annum. NWL CCG is committed to assess the needs of the service users and consider how (if relevant) it needs to secure the needs of the people who use the services, and improve the quality and efficiency in the provision of the services including through the services being provided in an integrated way. Providers capable to deliver the service may come forward by 2nd May 2022 to engage with the CCG. In your response to this opportunity, please advise your interest and demonstrate capacity and capability to deliver this service via: https://airtable.com/shr52NBGIuyGSsvoY If it is that Open Age are the only provider capable of delivering the service, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to the provider for up to 12 months beyond April 2022. Whilst the CCG considers its procurement options for these services going forward, it may extend its arrangements with the current provider until a new contract is awarded. During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d06e9d0e-286d-4d87-85bd-0e80bca7b9f0 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 May 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH WEST LONDON CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 5JD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Marylebone | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85100000 - Health services - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 7 Apr 2022 at 12:56 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d06e9d0e-286d-4d87-85bd-0e80bca7b9f0 - 30 Mar 2022 at 15:37 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/48ddb1c5-5c9c-4dff-bc71-6d40852c748f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d06e9d0e-286d-4d87-85bd-0e80bca7b9f0 7th April 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/48ddb1c5-5c9c-4dff-bc71-6d40852c748f 30th March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://airtable.com/shr52NBGIuyGSsvoY ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
