## Summary

The Big Pot Commission is a procurement initiative launched by Torbay Council on behalf of the Torbay Community Development Trust, focusing on health and social work services in Torquay, located in the South West of England. Currently in the planning stage, this opportunity aims to fund a project that supports individuals over 50 in maintaining their independence at home. Key dates include an engagement end date on 11th July 2018 and mandatory workshops for interested parties scheduled on 6th and 12th July, along with co-design workshops on 2nd, 3rd, or 9th August 2018.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their services in the health and social care sector. Businesses that can engage in co-design processes and have experience in community projects, particularly those focused on the needs of older adults, will be well-positioned to compete for this commission. Interested firms should prepare to participate in collaborative workshops to understand the project's requirements and align with the community's needs.
