## Summary

The procurement process for the "Living Well Waltham Forest" initiative is being conducted by the N E L Commissioning Support Unit, focusing on community health services in London. This project aims to enhance early intervention services for elderly individuals at risk of hospital admission through increased involvement of the voluntary sector. The procurement is currently at the award stage, having completed a limited procurement process with a total contract value of £194,250. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 2nd May 2017 and the contract commencement date on 8th May 2017, which will last until 31st March 2018.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the social care and community support sectors, particularly those that can offer low-level interventions such as assistance and engagement for elderly residents. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) are encouraged to consider participation, given the focus on collaboration with the voluntary sector to improve health outcomes and community well-being. Firms that can provide services related to health support, social activities, and care coordination may find this contract beneficial for business expansion.

## Notice

This is a Voluntary ex Ante Transparency Notice in Pursuant of Regulation 99 of the Public Contract Regulations (2015) The aim of the pilot scheme is to develop new pathways for elderly people who have a high dependency on formal care and are at risk of hospital admission. The scheme relies on significantly enhancing the role of the voluntary sector, to focus interventions on what the individual, their carer, their family and the community can do for themselves. This early intervention service would enhance the role of the voluntary sector to give them a more formal role within Care Coordination teams, with staff and volunteers conducting guided conversations with residents to help identify their needs/aspirations, feeding this information into MDTs to ensure that non-clinical needs are understood and responded to. The service will help professionals' discharge/de-escalate residents from their caseload and allow clients who do not meet the eligibility criteria for formal care to receive 'low-level' interventions from the voluntary sector such as support with dog walking, arranging for minor aids & adaptations, assistance around the home and being escorted to social events. It is now well established that these non-clinical interventions can prevent deterioration in health conditions and delay the need for formal care, as well as significantly reducing admissions to hospital. In addition, the interventions have been shown to improve quality of life and empower individuals to take an active part in their community - which reduces social isolation and increases wellbeing. Additional information: A 10 day standstill period Commencing on 28th of April and finishing on Monday 8th of May 2017 is now in force.
