## Summary

The Isle of Wight Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of "Carers Breaks Block Booked Beds on the Isle of Wight," specifically for people suffering from dementia. The focus is on health and social work services within the region of UKJ34. This project was conducted under the Open Procedure of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, encompassing two lots: moderate and high dementia residential respite care, each situated on the Isle of Wight. Notably, Island Healthcare Ltd was awarded the contracts for both lots as of 6th March 2025. The initiative is classified under the CPV code 85000000 and aimed to support informal carers by providing temporary respite care solutions, thereby promoting the independence of users in their homes as long as feasible.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in dementia care services, particularly those experienced in residential settings. Suppliers with strong capabilities in organisational structure, efficient service delivery, and quality assurance are well-positioned to meet the needs outlined in this tender. The procurement necessitated single suppliers for each lot, highlighting the need for providers who can reliably offer continuous care tailored to varying degrees of dementia. This presents growth prospects for firms able to expand their operations to the Isle of Wight, ensuring high flexibility with services bookable up to a year in advance. SMEs, in particular, might find this opportunity beneficial, as evidenced by the successful bid of Island Healthcare Ltd, an SME based in the region.

## Notice

The Isle of Wight Council ("the Authority") invited Tenders from suitably qualified suppliers ("Potential Suppliers") for the provision of Carers Breaks Block Booked Beds on the Isle of Wight (tendered as Respite Care Block Booked Beds on the Isle of Wight for People Suffering with Dementia). This procurement follows the Open Procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The Authority's requirement for respite care can be described as a service which provides a break for an informal carer from their caring role supporting another adult with care and support needs. The service is legally defined as a service. The aim of respite care is to enable personalised, quality, informal care arrangements to be sustained and to maintain a person's independence in their own home for as long as possible. The common factor is not what service is provided, but its purpose: to provide a break which is a positive experience for the person with care needs and the carer This opportunity is divided into two lots. Each lot is a single supplier lot as detailed below: LOT 1 - MODERATE DEMENTIA RESIDENTIAL RESPITE CARE ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT. This care is for people whose dementia symptoms have become more pronounced who may become more confused and forgetful. They may get frustrated or angry, and act in unexpected ways, and may need more help with daily activities and self-care. The provision MUST be located on the Isle of Wight. LOT 2 - HIGH DEMENTIA RESIDENTIAL RESPITE CARE ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT. This care is for people whose dementia symptoms are severe who have started to lose their ability to respond to their environment, to carry on a conversation and, eventually, to control movement. People at this stage may require around-the-clock assistance with daily personal care. The provision MUST be located on the Isle of Wight. The Authority requires the successful supplier(s) to provide one (1) bed with respite care for eligible Service Users for each lot. The respite care bed (in each lot) must be located on the Isle of Wight and must be available seven days per week and should be bookable up to 12 months in advance for periods from one weekend to two weeks. The respite care bed will be paid for by the Authority irrespective of utilisation, subject to the Schedule 3 No 6 of the Terms and Conditions relating to the bed being empty for more than 7 days, ensuring that the respite care bed is always available to the Authority to utilise for its Service Users' respite care needs. The total allocated annual budget will be reviewed annually in line with the Authority's fee review process.
