## Summary

Leeds City Council commissioned day services in Leeds for younger people living with dementia. The service is specialised support for people with younger-onset dementia, forming part of a pathway with NHS specialist services. It serves people who use the service and their unpaid carers, with wellbeing support and continuity of care central to delivery. The procurement is for health and social care services, rather than goods or construction work. The requirement is linked to established clinical partnerships and relationships with service users and carers, and the council has described a need to review the future service model with those groups and health partners.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Community Links (Northern) Limited and Inspire North were named as the awarded suppliers for the Leeds service. The contract was signed on 29 August 2017 and has a stated period of 720 days. Its recorded value is £3,431,543. The tender described a lot for day services for young people with dementia, with a planned contract duration of 1,800 days. The award was made through a modification to the existing service rather than a new competition: the council cited the need to avoid disruption to a specialised service and established NHS pathway while consulting on a future model. It also cited the original contractor’s developed relationships and maintained service outcomes.

For providers of specialist dementia care and support, this contract demonstrates demand from Leeds City Council for coordinated day services for people living with younger-onset dementia. Credible suppliers need to deliver support tailored to this cohort, sustain trusted relationships with service users and unpaid carers, and work effectively with NHS specialist services and other clinical partners. The council’s stated rationale makes continuity and stability particularly important: a provider must be able to protect vulnerable users from disruption while maintaining service quality. The incumbent service also expanded wellbeing support and maintained outcomes amid financial pressure, indicating that relevant experience includes improving or sustaining outcomes within constrained resources. Providers considering similar future work should be able to show the capacity to co-produce service design with users, carers and health partners.
