## Summary

The Oldham Council is currently conducting an open tender for the provision of Day Services aimed at older individuals who require social support. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is set to provide a structured environment for both assessed and independent older individuals, with a focus on respite for carers. The tender was published on 4 November 2015, with the submission deadline for proposals on 4 December 2015. The contract is anticipated to begin on 1 July 2016 and run until 30 June 2019, with a total value of £289,187, located in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This initiative presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with experience in providing support to older adults, including those with cognitive impairments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would find this tender well-suited to their capabilities, as it requires innovative and flexible service delivery models that cater to the unique needs of older individuals and their carers.

## Notice

The tender for Day Services for older people is aimed at providing a service for older people who need time away from their homes in a structured supportive environment. The Day Service also aims to provide a respite service for carers. The Day Service will benefit both those older people who have been assessed as requiring care, and also those who have not had a formal assessment of their needs and are largely independent. The Day Service will also provide a respite service for carers in a flexible and innovative way. Therefore the Day Service will comprise of two distinct but related parts. Older people who have been formally assessed as needing care will be looked after in a Day Care Service. Older people who have not formally been assessed as needing care will be looked after in a lunch club setting. It is envisaged that a high proportion of the older people using the Day Service will have some cognitive impairment, including those with a diagnosis of early dementia. However the service is not intended to cater for people with more complex care needs arising from either a dementing illness or significant levels of mental ill-health.
