This planned procurement involves the potential future contract opportunity for a service provider to deliver a Community Links Network Service, focusing on the Garnock Valley area. The deadline for service providers to express interest by completing a questionnaire is by the close of business on 29th September 2022. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with the future notice date set for 14th October 2022. This tender by the North Ayrshire Council presents an opportunity for service providers interested in delivering a Community Links Network Service to enhance their business growth. Suitable businesses with expertise in providing services related to promoting independent living, community engagement, and social relationships would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement method is a planned tender, with a clear focus on delivering a high-quality service for vulnerable individuals within the Garnock Valley area, fostering community integration and individual empowerment. ## Notice North Ayrshire Council ("NAC") on behalf of North Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership (NAHSCP) are looking to notify the market of a potential future contract opportunity for a single provider to deliver a Community Links Network Service. There will be one network covering the Garnock Valley (this includes the towns of Beith, Dalry and Kilbirnie and smaller villages of Gateside, Barrmill, Longbar and Glengarnock). Although there may be an optional modification to extend the number of networks (possibly up to 5), should funding become available. This is at the discretion of NAC. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NAHSCP will work with the provider, service users, carers, families, and key partners to promote a culture of change and to deliver a high quality person centred service that responds effectively to the matters that impact on individuals lives and ability to engage in the community. The purpose of a community link network is to enable individuals to maintain independent living; actively engage in the community as valued and active citizens; and make positive social relationships. Individuals will be able to exercise choice on the form of their participation and be provided with the support and tools to achieve their outcomes. This model of support is based on a group of vulnerable individuals who live close to each other joining a support network that is led by a skilled link worker living within the same community..
