Request for Information - Dementia Support Services

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. IT IS NOT A TENDER PROCESS.

Buckinghamshire Council (the Council) is undertaking a preliminary market engagement exercise prior to tendering for a Dementia Support Service. Suppliers are invited to participate in this exercise by completing the attached questionnaire. This will help the Council understand the market. The information obtained from this exercise may be used to inform the Council's approach to the procurement process it undertakes for the delivery of these services. As such, this notice does not formally signify the beginning of a procurement process and does not constitute commitment to undertake a procurement exercise. In the event that the Council decides to commence a formal procurement exercise a separate Contract Notice will be issued.

The Dementia Support Services will provide preventative screening, pre- and post-diagnostic support for individuals and their families, either following diagnosis of a dementia or for support for memory concerns. These services support individuals to remain independent and live well within their communities. The service will provide functions to support the delivery of the ambitions set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.

Please note the deadline for responses to this Request for Information is midday Monday 10th May 2021.
