This tender is currently in the active stage of procurement, with a deadline for submissions set for 16:00 on 22nd December 2021. The procurement process follows an open procedure, enabling a broad range of providers to participate in the bidding. This service falls under the residential nursing care category, classified under CPV code 85144100, and aims to enhance the quality of life for up to 36 residents through dedicated care and community activities. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in providing residential care for dementia patients. Providers capable of delivering innovative care models and interested in partnering with a reputable NHS Trust will be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as their contributions may bring fresh perspectives and specialised knowledge to this sector, thus supporting the Trust's vision for improved dementia care. ## Notice Owned, and currently operated, by East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (the 'Trust'), The Harmonia Village in Dover, Kent aims to provide better care and support for people living with dementia ('PLWD'), so that they can live happier and healthier lives. Part of a wider Interreg VA 2Seas programme known as Community Areas of Sustainable Care and Dementia Excellence in Europe ('CASCADE'), The Harmonia Village offers on-site 24 hours a day, all year round residential nursing care and support for up to i) 30 PLWD who require long-term placements across six houses, and ii) six hotel style booked 'guest rooms' - within the communal building (the 'Hub') - offering short-term placements to PLWD and their visiting carers / family. The Hub is at the heart of The Harmonia Village, offering residents, their guests and visitors, other organisations and the public, access to a cafe and multi-purpose rooms, where daily activities, events and services can provide stimulating and creative activities to PLWD to boost their health and well-being. Further information about the Harmonia Village is available from http://www.harmoniavillage.org.uk The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Trust's ability to deliver the services as originally intended, so much so that the Trust is now looking to outsource the operational delivery of the residential nursing home care and support services at the Harmonia Village to a suitably experienced provider who will partner with the Trust, and share in its vision, to deliver a new approach to care of PLWD.
