The Council is seeking feedback to inform its options and decision-making process. The exercise aims to enhance the existing support network for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers in Hertfordshire, in line with the Hertfordshire Dementia Strategy 2023-2028. This tender presents an opportunity for organisations interested in providing community support services for people living with dementia and their caregivers. Businesses involved in social work and related services, particularly those focusing on dementia care, are well-suited to participate. The Council's initiative aligns with the aim to bolster local dementia-friendly communities throughout Hertfordshire, providing a platform for providers to contribute to building a supportive network of partners and expanding access to essential services. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') is carrying out PPME in relation to Dementia Community Support.The Council will consider any feedback received to help inform the Council's options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process.Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) is seeking to begin a Pre-Procurement Market Engagement exercise for Community Dementia Support Services to help with our decision-making process ahead of the forthcoming procurement of these services.HCC currently commissions a range of services to support people living in the community with dementia and their carers, including: Hertswise - Dementia Service in Hertfordshire, a partnership of organisations led by Age UK Hertfordshire; Alzheimer's Society's post diagnostic support service and Herts Dementia Information and Support Service; and the Admiral Nursing Service, hosted by Carers in Herts. These services have been running since 2017 and we are now in the process of looking at what support would benefit people and how we will procure the next round of services once the current Contracts come to an end. We are keen to hear directly from organisations that might be interested in becoming involved in providing support in the community for people living with dementia and for those who care for them. Our aspiration is to build on the good work currently taking place, both within the currently commissioned services, but also more widely. We want to encourage and support the existing excellent work already taking place throughout Hertfordshire, building a mutually supportive network of partners, large and small, and give more opportunities for people to easily find and access the support they need, at a convenient and local place for them.Any new services will be commissioned in line with the Hertfordshire Dementia Strategy 2023-2028, and as such, we particularly want to build on the support available for carers, and for those with young onset dementia. The new services commissioned will also have an important role to role in developing our local dementia friendly communities throughout Hertfordshire.Further details are in the PPME document. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023124-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Aug 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 7 Aug 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | STEVENAGE | | Post town | Stevenage | | Postcode | SG1 2FQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH26 North and East Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Stevenage | | Electoral ward | Symonds Green | | Westminster constituency | Stevenage | | Delivery location | TLH23 Hertfordshire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 8 Aug 2023 at 15:14 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023124-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
