## Summary

The North West London Clinical Commissioning Group is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the "NWL0062 Dementia Advisor Services" project in Central London (Westminster). This initiative aims to provide post-diagnostic support and advice for individuals diagnosed with dementia, with an emphasis on promoting independence and community access. The engagement with potential providers is set to conclude by 14th April 2022, following a market engagement notice published on 15th March 2022. Currently, there is an existing contract with London Care Ltd, which is valued at approximately £50,000 per annum and will run until the end of March 2022, prompting this call for new tenders to ensure continuity of service beyond that date.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those equipped to support the needs of individuals with dementia. Companies that provide community-based health services, have experience with care management, or offer training in dementia awareness would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on high-quality support and community engagement also creates pathways for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to participate, thereby enhancing their service offerings and contributing to better health outcomes for vulnerable populations.

## Notice

NWL CCG requires a Central London (Westminster) based provision of a Dementia Advisor (DA) to deliver post-diagnostic support, information & advice to people with a diagnosis of dementia. The main focus is supporting people with a recent diagnosis, &/or in early stages, to live well with dementia, to help them to stay independent & access services in the community. The DA also remains as point of contact for people with dementia from diagnosis through to end-of-life. The post holder provides information on local support services for the person with dementia, providing advice & signposting as & when required. Even though the main focus for the DA is the person with a diagnosis of dementia (rather than Carers), the DA closely liaises with families & friends of the person with dementia as required. The post holder also takes an active role in the delivery of Westminster Memory Cafe sessions, raises awareness about dementia in the community, takes an active role in the Dementia Friendly Communities initiative & builds links & relationships to enhance partnership working with other services/organisations across the dementia pathway. The aims of the service are to offer high quality post-diagnostic support, information & advice to: Promote an understanding of dementia & manage the symptoms of dementia Help people live more independently Enable easy access to services, seek out the right support at the right time Feel in control of their life & their future Reduce isolation, rebuild their support network Better manage their mental & physical health Empower people to live well with dementia Memory Cafe service objectives: Promote social inclusion & prevent isolation Enable peer support, sharing experiences, networking Provide a forum for informal advice, consultation with staff Improve knowledge & access to local/national services Enable emotional adjustment, acceptance of the condition Improve self-image & confidence Improve people's understanding of dementia & ability to self-manage their symptoms The CCG has a contract in place with London Care Ltd until 31st Mar 2022 (approximate value PS50,000/ annum). The purpose of this PIN is to be transparent about the CCG's intentions & to invite any capable provider interested in delivering the services described above to come forward by 14th Apr 2022 to engage with the CCG. NWL CCG is committed to assess the needs of the service users & consider how it needs to secure the needs of the people who use the services, & improve the quality & efficiency in the provision of the services including through the services being provided in an integrated way. Whilst the CCG considers its procurement options for the service 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 opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB.
