The brief

Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole Council (BCP Council) is seeking market feedback to help inform and shape a possible upcoming procurement to establish a new Community Sensory Service for the BCP Council area via a preliminary market engagement exercise.

The Community Sensory Support Service will provide practical, emotional, and informational support to adults (aged 18 and over) in Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole who have significant sight and/or hearing impairments, including those with dual sensory loss (deaf blindness).

The aim of the Community Sensory Support Service is to promote and sustain the independence and inclusion of people using the service by being part of a co-ordinated approach which reduces individuals’ dependency on statutory services and exclusion from mainstream community life.

Interested organisations are invited to complete the attached questionnaire.

Completed questionnaires should be submitted via the messaging facility on this activity by midday Friday 27 February 2026.

This market engagement questionnaire is open to all providers who have an interest in the delivery of a Community Sensory Service.

Participation or non-participation in this market engagement event shall not prejudice organisations participating in any future procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any organisation at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process.
