      Health and social work services. Community health services. Other community, social and personal services. Health training services. The London Borough of Bromley (LBB) and Bromley Clinical Commissioning Group (BCCG) are seeking to establish a new and comprehensive Dementia Post Diagnosis Support Service for people living in the borough of Bromley with a diagnosis of dementia and for their carers – the Hub. There are four clear service areas or ‘Components’ that comprise the Hub, these are:
•Dementia advisors and navigators
•Community development and support
•Carer training
•Skills training and support in Extra Care Housing

The first two components are entirely new, the carer training and skills training in ECH are already delivered in some form under existing contract arrangements. The vision for the service is that it will operate as a single entity with one organisation managing and co-ordinating the whole, the ‘Lead Organisation’. The Lead Organisation will hold responsibility for successful collaboration and information sharing across the piece and will be expected to ensure the successful dissemination of information on all services within this tender and the collation of performance and contract monitoring information.
LBB and BCCG are inviting organisations that are suitably qualified and experienced in delivering support and services to people with dementia and/or their carers to submit their proposals for the delivery of this service. Organisations seeking to operate as the Lead Organisation will need to demonstrate significant reach into existing community and voluntary sector services operating in the borough.
Organisations may bid to operate as the Lead Organisation and /or for delivery of any one or more component/s. Bids may be from:
•Ready-formed consortia that can operate all or multiple components, or elements within components, of the service as well as acting as the lead organisation;
•Individual organisations to operate single or multiple components, or elements within components, of the service as well as acting as the lead organisation.
•Individual organisations to operate single or multiple components or elements within components of the service.

Organisations that wish to deliver single or multiple service elements only but not act as lead organisation, or that are unsuccessful in their bid to be the lead organisation, may be directed to the lead organisation to be considered as a consortium member or sub-contractor.

Providers must register at www.londontenders.org in order to participate in this tender..
