Tender: Countywide Dementia Day Opportunities Service – Warwickshire County Council

About

Warwickshire County Council is seeking a single provider to deliver a countywide dementia day opportunities service, with the provider required to evidence existing delivery of group-based dementia day opportunities of a similar size, activity level and value. Dementia day opportunities are scheduled sessions of specified duration delivered in dementia-friendly buildings, managed by providers and supported by trained staff to help a set number of people diagnosed with dementia socialise, take part in meaningful activities and engage with their community through organised trips and community visits. The service aims to provide high-quality, specialist, person-centred support, promote community engagement, help people with dementia remain in the community and avoid unnecessary hospital or residential care admissions, and support health, wellbeing, independence and social inclusion while offering carers organised respite. This is an open procedure to commission the service in Warwickshire and the range and scope of services may be modified during the contract to reflect changing Council needs, legislation, Local Government Reorganisation and customer demand.
