    Brief

    Central Bedfordshire Council is seeking information from potential service providers to help design a new Social Isolation and Loneliness Service. This Request for Information (RFI) is not a formal tender but an opportunity to share ideas about how the service could be delivered. The council wants to understand different service delivery models, your organization's capabilities, and any innovative approaches you might offer. The service will support adults who experience loneliness, social isolation, or limited community engagement. Services may include outreach, befriending, signposting to support, wellbeing activities, and community-based interventions. The overall goals are to improve social connectedness, enhance wellbeing, increase access to local support and services, and help individuals live independently within their communities. This RFI is an information-gathering exercise to inform the council's future commissioning decisions. Respondents are encouraged to provide insights into potential service models, delivery methods, staffing approaches, partnership opportunities, and any innovative solutions that could address social isolation and loneliness among adults in Central Bedfordshire.
