## Summary

The procurement process titled "Social and Memory Groups" was conducted by Bath & North East Somerset Council, a sub-central government public authority in the UK. It falls under the services industry category, specifically targeting social work and related services. The contract was signed on 31 March 2025 and runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, amounting to £111,967.

This procurement provides business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) focusing on social work and related services. The nature of the service—supporting social and memory groups—offers ample scope for organisations experienced in delivering impactful social care services. Engaging businesses in this sector can help streamline initiatives to foster mental well-being, reduce loneliness, and lessen burdens on NHS and social care facilities, aligning with the broader objectives of enhancing community health outcomes.

## Notice

The Social and Memory Groups Support Service provides critical social and memory group interventions that promote mental well-being, reduce isolation, and prevent premature reliance on higher levels of care, including residential placements. With loneliness affecting over 1 million older adults in the UK and depression impacting one in five people aged 65 and over, these services play a vital role in maintaining independence and quality of life. Research indicates that social engagement significantly reduces the risk of cognitive decline, supports better physical health outcomes, and alleviates pressure on NHS and social care services. Due to system limitations in the Find a Tender Service (FTS), the contract signature date shown in this notice does not reflect the actual contract signature date the contract was signed on 02.05.2025
