This procurement falls within the healthcare industry, specifically focusing on hospital support services (CPV code: 85112000). The tender stage is currently in the planning phase, with key dates including the planned publication on 1st May 2018 and a closing date for submissions by 31st May 2018. The service is set to commence on 1st October 2018 and will run until 31st March 2021, primarily covering the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care, particularly those that can provide post-diagnostic support and training related to dementia care. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to express interest, as the procurement process is open to all qualified suppliers. Engaging with this opportunity can enhance service delivery in the region and cater to the needs of individuals and carers affected by dementia, ultimately contributing to the improvement of community health outcomes. ## 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.
