## Summary

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has completed the award process for the "Community Link Workers - Inverclyde" contract, aimed at providing Community Link Workers Service in Inverclyde. The award has been made to CVS Inverclyde, covering a period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with a possible extension of one year. This contract aligns with the ongoing evaluation of social prescribing services across Inverclyde, with a total contract value of £666,112. The procurement method used was limited, involving an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The evaluation process considers the gaps and opportunities in social prescribing, making it a strategic alignment with other social prescribing contracts. The contract status as of now is active, with the agreement signed on 4th November 2024.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in social and healthcare services, especially those focusing on community and social care models. The continuity of service encourages SMEs like CVS Inverclyde to maintain and potentially enhance their market presence during the review period. Businesses with expertise in social prescribing, community health initiatives, and those capable of delivering innovative community-focused healthcare solutions would be well-suited to this tender. Additionally, there may be future opportunities to engage in the broader scope of social prescribing services as the evaluation concludes, promising avenues for business growth and community impact.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Inverclyde Health & Social Care Partnership is appointing a supplier to deliver continuation of the Community Links Officer service within GP practices in Inverclyde.. The award is being made to cover a short term of minimum 12, maximum 24 months. During this time a review of all social prescribing services in Inverclyde is being carried out. The incumbent supplier will continue to deliver the programme during the time of this review. This short term award will allow this contact to be aligned with other services

### Procurement Information

An external company is evaluating the Community Link Worker service in its current form. A separate evaluation exercise is underway including a scoping exercise of the landscape of Social Prescribing models across Inverclyde. This will provide an overview of gaps in the locality and opportunities for bridging of Social Prescribing models. To allow this evaluation to be fully scoped we will make a direct award to the current provider from period 1st April 2025 - 31st March 2026 with the option of a plus one year. This would bring this CLW contract in line with other Social Prescribing contract end dates. It would also allow the evaluation outcomes to be reviewed, identified gaps analysed and proposals formed around a Social Prescribing model that encompasses multiple Social Prescribing Contracts. It would also allow sufficient time to onward scope an innovative Social Prescribing Hub fit for the future and one that best serves our community.
