## Summary

The Sheffield City Council is seeking bids for the "Dementia Specialist Advice Service," which aims to provide professional advice regarding dementia-related issues without offering clinical advice. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, and it is currently in the Award stage. The contract is valued at £250,000 and will begin on 1st October 2019, lasting until 31st March 2022. The initial tender period ended on 26th July 2019, and the contract has already been awarded.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those focused on training and advisory roles in dementia care. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for this service, given the emphasis on specialist knowledge and community engagement. Engaging with this contract can enhance a business’s portfolio, promote development within the sector, and contribute positively to the local community's needs.
