Community Link Network Development
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
North Ayrshire Council, a regional or local authority in the UK (UKM93), is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the development of a Community Link Network. This initiative falls under the services category, particularly general public services, with a focus on health and social care. The procurement is intended to cover two networks in the Garnock Valley and Stevenston areas.
Interested service providers are invited to express their interest by submitting a completed questionnaire to Laura Keane at laurakeane@north-ayrshire.gov.uk by the close of business on Friday, 13 June 2025. This planned service contract, valued at £507,695, aims to support adults, especially those aged 18-65 with learning disabilities, by fostering community engagement and independent living. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those experienced in providing community-based support for individuals with learning disabilities.
Companies capable of delivering person-centred services that enhance community participation and foster social relationships will find this opportunity particularly well-suited to their expertise. By responding to this tender, businesses can expand their reach and impact in the social care sector within North Ayrshire, while contributing to an initiative that supports the well-being of vulnerable community members.
North Ayrshire Council ("NAC") on behalf of North Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership (NAHSCP) are looking to notify the market of a potential future contract opportunity for a single provider to deliver a Community Links Network Service. There will be one network covering the Garnock Valley (this includes the towns of Beith, Dalry and Kilbirnie and smaller villages of Gateside, Barrmill, Longbar and Glengarnock) and one network covering Stevenston and surrounding areas. NAC welcomes expressions of interest from service providers, by completing the questionnaire attached and returning to laurakeane@north-ayrshire.gov.uk before close of business on Friday 13 June 2025.
For additional information, please refer to the questionnaire attached.
NAHSCP have an ongoing requirement for the provision of a Community Links Network Service for adults, predominately aged between 18-65 with a diagnosis of learning disability. NAHSCP will work with the provider, service users, carers, families, and key partners to promote a culture of change and to deliver a high quality person centred service that responds effectively to matters that impact on individuals lives and ability to engage in the community. The purpose of a community link network is to enable individuals to maintain independent living; actively engage in the community as valued and active citizens; and make positive social relationships. Individuals will be able to exercise choice on the form of their participation and be provided with the support and tools to achieve their outcomes.
