North East Lincolnshire Dementia Support Service

Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (hereinafter referred to as HNY ICB) hereby invites applications from suitably qualified and experienced providers to provide a dementia support service in North East Lincolnshire for a 3 year period.

The overall aim of the service is to facilitate a formal and coordinated network of support providers to ensure people in North East Lincolnshire have timely and appropriate access to good quality information, advice, and guidance around dementia and the wider impact of dementia on the person and their carers/family including friends and connections. It also aims to facilitate access to a wide range of activities based on the person's life and interests to enable the person to remain socially connected for as long as possible, with the ambition of delaying deterioration attributable to dementia.

Innovation and efficiencies in service provision for improved access and delivery of outcomes will be sought from prospective providers of the service, as will enhanced partnership working to provide an integrated service that works across health, social care, education, voluntary & community sector, and other agencies within North East Lincolnshire, providing a seamless approach.

The provider will be expected to deliver a networked service based in North East Lincolnshire and throughout local communities, covering and working with all Primary Care Networks and North East Lincolnshire Health & Care Partnerships to ensure those with dementia related needs and their carers within the boundaries of North East Lincolnshire are identified, recognised and supported. Further details of the services required can be found in Annex A of the MOI.

TUPE is likely to apply to the transfer of staff undertaking the current service provision.
