With a budget of £50,000, organisations are invited to submit Expressions of Interest by 27th July 2020. The project is set to commence in August 2020 and run until August 2021, targeting the Health Services industry category. This initiative focuses on establishing compassionate communities to empower local residents and organisations to collectively support individuals during end-of-life care. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in community health and social care services. Entities that can engage with diverse groups and have experience in community development initiatives will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Successful bidders will play a pivotal role in a meaningful public health project, helping to foster community resilience and support systems tailored to end-of-life care. ## Notice Expression of Interest (EOI) for the provision of Compassionate Communities across the Norfolk and Waveney CCG footprint Norfolk and Waveney CCG (N&W CCG) has been awarded national funding worth PS50k to develop and establish Compassionate Communities across the STP footprint. Developing Compassionate Communities is one of the key strategies of Palliative and End of Life Care for our population. By adopting the principles underpinning compassionate communities (please see https://www.compassionate-communitiesuk.co.uk/), the whole community; residents, workplaces, care organisations, statutory and voluntary sector organisations, can work together to make caring at end of life into bereavement everyone's responsibility, finding practical ways to help on a variety of different levels. The ultimate aim of this important workstream is to work towards the STP signing up to a Civic Charter (see https://www.compassionate-communitiesuk.co.uk/the-compassionate-city-charter). There is growing evidence that compassionate communities can build community capacity and empower people to look after their loved ones. Increasing awareness around death, dying within the general public can ensure support not only for those that are dying but also those that are grieving. This can happen between friends, family members, neighbours, at cafes work places etc. A compassionate community can help improve someone's understanding of options at end of life through those conversations and the education and materials made available to them. It gives someone more options of who and where to go to in a crisis and rather than relying on their local hospital or specialist service. The CCG is inviting Expressions of Interest from local organisations to employ a Compassionate Community Development Worker for one year to help develop an existing project in Halesworth and to produce a toolkit and learning materials to support communities and neighbourhoods across Norfolk and Waveney develop their own compassionate community initiatives. The compassionate community development worker will have a hands on approach to working with a wide variety of organisations and residents to co-produce local initiatives. Day to day management will be undertaken by the commissioned provider and the worker will be expected to work with, and report to, the STP Compassionate Communities Steering Group. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b191252f-b15b-46c1-9854-c3c73ecafaed | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | 27 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Aug 2020 - 31 Aug 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR7 0WG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Broadland | | Electoral ward | Brundall | | Westminster constituency | Broadland and Fakenham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 10 Jul 2020 at 11:02 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b191252f-b15b-46c1-9854-c3c73ecafaed ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b191252f-b15b-46c1-9854-c3c73ecafaed 10th July 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.compassionate-communitiesuk.co.uk/ - https://www.compassionate-communitiesuk.co.uk/the-compassionate-city-charter - https://www.norfolkandwaveneyccg.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
