This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with bids due by 26 March 2018. The total contract value is set at £70,000, and the contract will commence on 1 April 2018, lasting until 31 October 2018. Interested parties must submit their bids electronically via the SE Shared Services Procurement eSourcing portal. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and social care services, particularly those with expertise in community engagement and evaluation methodologies. Companies that specialise in providing non-medical support and those with a track record in linking health services to community resources would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project could bolster a company's profile and contribute to sustainable health solutions within Surrey. ## 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.
