Description

The overall objective of this procurement is to bring together a number of separate services together under a single "Dementia Navigators and Cafes" contract. This procurement will allow these contracts to be bought together to allow a more cogent point of management. It will enable increased equability in the service offered across the co-coordinating and associate commissioner patches. It is expected that the service will meet the following needs:

• To provide a highly responsive, individualised information and signposting service to people with a diagnosis of dementia and/or to their carers/families.
• To provide ongoing support, information and guidance to people with dementia and/or to their carers/families; helping to maintain their independence, improve their sense of well-being, and gain more control of their lives.
• To assist people with dementia and their carers to identify their needs and increase access to services.
• Via the Dementia Cafés and Groups, to increase the opportunity for people with dementia and their carers to access post diagnostic support closer to home.

It is expected that TUPE will apply.

The contract duration shall be three years with the option to extend for a further two years in 12 month increments at the sole discretion of the Commissioner.
