## Summary

The procurement process involves SE Shared Services, which is based in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, seeking to award a contract titled "SCC AGC Social Prescribing - Evaluation Feasibility." The project pertains to the community health services industry and is currently at the Award stage. The contract period begins on 1 April 2018 and concludes on 31 October 2018, with a minimum contract value of £50,000 and a total value of £70,000. The open procedure was used for procurement, and the tender period ended on 26 March 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses to engage in social prescribing evaluation initiatives across Surrey, particularly for those with expertise in health and social care services. Companies focused on community health solutions, evaluation methodologies, or those capable of delivering on the integration of non-medical community support services would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The endeavour aims to enhance local resources and contribute to the overall wellbeing of residents, thus potential suppliers can expect a progressive impact on community health outcomes.

## Notice

Social prescribing describes a way in which health and social care professionals (in fact any professional that is in contact with the general public) can access a wide range of non-medical options for an individual to address socioeconomic and psychosocial issues. A social prescribing scheme is a way of linking patients in primary care with sources of support within the community and will enable an individual to move between professional sectors and their community to fully address all the factors affecting their health and wellbeing before they escalate, viewing the individual as a person rather than defining them by their condition or disability. Within Surrey, there are a wide range of community resources available to help keep people independent and well but often fail to connect local residents-in-need to all that is available to them. While there are pockets of good practice within the County where social prescribing pilots are underway, there is a need for the benefits of a Social Prescribing approach to be realised and evidenced countywide in a sustainable manner. While the evidence base around social prescribing is growing it is limited. We are seeking develop a social prescribing approach at scale across Surrey and in addition develop a robust evaluation that will inform the effectiveness of the local approach; guide future commissioning decisions; and significantly contribute to the emerging evidence base. This project will explore the feasibility of evaluating social prescribing at scale across Surrey.
