Tender for the Provision of an Adult Social Care Prevention Service in Buckinghamshire 2025

The procurement process for Buckinghamshire Council's "Tender for the Provision of an Adult Social Care Prevention Service in Buckinghamshire 2025" has reached the award stage, with Age Concern Buckinghamshire being chosen as the supplier. The council aims to transform Adult Social Care by providing early intervention services that enhance health and wellbeing amongst residents aged 65 and over, thereby reducing future demand on healthcare services. The service will be delivered in six Integrated Neighbourhood Team areas within Buckinghamshire.

This process was conducted using an open procedure method and is set to start on March 2, 2026, continuing until March 1, 2029, with a potential extension up to 2031. 7 million, demonstrating a substantial investment in community-based services. This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for organisations specialising in health and social care services, particularly those capable of operating on a large scale to deliver high-quality care and support.

The procurement prioritises community-connectedness and independence among the elderly, focusing especially on reducing social isolation. Businesses with expertise in delivering holistic and person-centred services, including those familiar with working within community and voluntary sectors, are well-positioned to benefit. The opportunities extend to SMEs and voluntary sector enterprises, as evidenced by the high number of final-stage bids received, thus encouraging participation from a diverse range of service providers in the community action programme within the Buckinghamshire region.
