## Summary

The South Gloucestershire Council is seeking contractors for a project titled "Maintaining health and wellbeing in later life," aimed at addressing loneliness and isolation among older people in South Gloucestershire. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the contract valued at £54,900, covering social work and related services. The contract period will commence on 1st April 2019 and conclude on 31st March 2020. The tender stage has reached the award phase, with the award announced on 25th March 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on social services, community engagement, and volunteer management, particularly those experienced in working with older populations. Companies that can provide innovative solutions to reduce social isolation and improve overall wellbeing would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The initiative aims to enhance community involvement and create new volunteer opportunities, which could further stimulate interest and participation from local businesses and organisations.

## Notice

Age UK's service is targeted at lonely and/or isolated older people across South Gloucestershire, to ensure rural and urban loneliness and isolation is addressed. This will be achieved through the following activities and services: * Provide volunteering opportunities for adults of all ages * Enable older people to 'Love Later Life' through active volunteering opportunities, to aid development of new social contacts, improve confidence, become and remain active and widen their community involvement * Build strong local neighbourhoods * Provide Dementia Friends training to all new volunteers and make that resource available to other organisations and community groups * Befriending services (face-to-face and by telephone for those on the waiting list of those who prefer not to be visited) This project will bring together opportunities to improve social isolation, improve employability, increase community involvement, increase levels of activity and improve people's financial situation. The resulting improvement in their health and wellbeing will reduce their dependency on and use of health and social care services.
