Dementia Navigator Service

Warwickshire County Council is overseeing a procurement process for the "Dementia Navigator Service," aimed at providing post-diagnostic support services to individuals diagnosed with dementia in Warwickshire. This procurement falls within the health and social work services industry category. Initially, the planning stage began on 21st May 2025, and a future notice date was set for 1st August 2025.

Unfortunately, the tender, with a planned contract period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2033, was withdrawn as of 26th September 2025 due to creating dual OCDS numbers for the opportunity. The cancellation signifies the end of this particular procurement stage, but the need for similar services might arise again in the future. Business growth opportunities exist as Warwickshire County Council continues to seek services in the health sector.

Companies experienced in health and social work services, particularly those with a focus on dementia care, would have been well-suited for this tender. While the initial opportunity was cancelled, similar tenders in the sector could emerge, allowing businesses specialising in health services to engage with government contracts, thus expanding their client base within the public sector. Being alert to future pipeline notices and preparing suitable proposals can help businesses stay competitive when similar opportunities arise.
