Dementia Support Service

Leicester City Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a "Dementia Support Service," which falls under the health and social work services category. This service aims to provide support, advice, and information for individuals with dementia and their families, in collaboration with Leicestershire County Council and health services. The service is to be delivered in the UKF21 region, starting from 2nd October 2026, with the contract running until 1st October 2029 and a potential extension until 1st October 2031.

Interested parties should note that further communication will be issued by 1st March 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those experienced in supporting dementia care. Companies capable of delivering preventative services that enable people to live well without dependence on formal statutory support would be particularly well-suited to compete.

The procurement process operates under a "light touch" regime, considering it's above threshold, which may appeal to innovative service providers ready to scale their operations in collaboration with local government bodies.
