This tender, titled "Community Based Day Opportunities, Older People, Adult Social Care. Early Engagement, Soft Market Assessment," is in the planning stage with an engagement end date of 3rd July 2024. The Council is seeking input from potential bidders to shape the requirement for community-based day opportunities for older people. This tender presents opportunities for specialist organisations in the community, social, and personal services sector to provide bespoke and local day services for older people. Businesses with expertise in offering services catering to shared interests in a community-based setting or homely environment are well-suited to compete. The Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council aims to provide a range of meaningful day opportunities for older people, offering respite for carers and tailored support for individuals. Interested organisations are encouraged to participate in the Soft Market Assessment before the deadline of 3rd July 2024. ## Notice Community Based Day Opportunities, Older People, Adult Social Care. Early Engagement, Soft Market Assessment BCP Council would like to seek input from the market and gain interest from potential bidders, prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity. This will provide early insight into the likely level of interest from that market and will help shape the requirement. BCP Council is conducting a Soft Market Assessment to gain an understanding of specialist organisations with relevant experience that can assist the Council with the provision of community-based day opportunities for older people (65 years and over). Following the approval of BCP Council's Day Opportunities Strategy 2024-2029 by Cabinet in March 2024 (see attached), commissioners are looking to diversify the provision of day opportunities with alternative offers to day service building-based services. Commissioners wish to engage with organisations who can provide community-based services for older people. Current commissioned day opportunity provision in BCP consists of either building-based day services for older people with significant needs who require a more secure environment and specialist support or community groups/activities that provide support for older people and their carers. There are no services currently commissioned for older people that provide an interim level of support for small groups of older people who do not have significant mobility and personal care needs, yet whom a community group/activity does not provide enough support and a day service provision may be less desirable due to cost, proximity to available services and personal preference. Our commissioning intention is to provide a range of day opportunities for older people which will include an offer of services that are bespoke, local to individuals (with transport and refreshment/meals provided) and cater for shared interests of a small number of older people in a community-based setting or homely environment. This will provide a meaningful day for people who access services, be affordable and provide carers with short term respite from their caring responsibilities. Our Commissioning aim for this project, is to commence the provision of these services in this financial year. Please could interested organisations, send a message in this activity. Please provide your organisations contact information and expertise in this area. The deadline for this Soft Market Assessment is Wednesday 3 July 2024. Participation or non-participation in this market exercise shall not prevent any organisation participating in any potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any organisation at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/69f37a50-660a-4b49-8260-d191031c38ae | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | 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 | 5 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 3 Jul 2024 | | 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 | BOURNEMOUTH CHRISTCHURCH AND POOLE COUNCIL | | Locality | BOURNEMOUTH | | Post town | Bournemouth | | Postcode | BH2 6DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK63 Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole | | Local authority | Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole | | Electoral ward | Bournemouth Central | | Westminster constituency | Bournemouth West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 5 Jun 2024 at 10:53 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/69f37a50-660a-4b49-8260-d191031c38ae ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/69f37a50-660a-4b49-8260-d191031c38ae 5th June 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=423453fb-2823-ef11-812c-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.bcpcouncil.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
