Notice Title

Active Recovery Beds 2023-24

Notice Description

The Lincolnshire Health and Care System is working to embed a home first culture and approach to discharge and patient flow. There is a recognition that hospital acquired functional decline results in less than optimal outcomes and people should be afforded the opportunity to return directly home from hospital for longer term needs to be identified and assessed in a more familiar setting. Active Recovery Beds describe a pathway for a facility where people are ready to be discharged from hospital but are not ready to return to their former home or level of independence. They may require time, support, care and potentially therapies to enable them to be re-abled to return home. The Council wishes to commission a total of 40 Active Recovery Beds (July to December 2023) and 60 Active Recovery Beds (January to March 2024) in registered residential care homes across the county. There will be between 10 and 20 Active Recovery Beds in each of the three distinct geographic areas covering the East, South and West of Lincolnshire. The service is not for all hospital discharges. The focus of the service is to support those with complex needs requiring an integrated response, wand who can improve to enable them to live at home independently with a reduced package of statutory care. The service will also be accessible to those in the community where a short period of stay in a bed based reablement setting would prevent an unnecessary hospital admission. This means the service being accessible to community services such as the Falls Response Service and EMAS. Each Provider will provide a minimum of 10 beds to be used solely for the Active Recovery Bed service. The duration of any contracts resulting from this procurement will commence 1st July 2023 for a maximum period of 9 months to 31st March 2024. The Council will reserve the option to extend the contracts for up to 4 periods each of up to 6 months in duration beyond 31st March 2024. This would give a maximum total potential contract period of up to 2 years and 9 months. Any extended contract will end no later than 31st March 2026. During the extension period(s) it is expected that, as per the initial contract period, 40 beds will be required consistently, and the increase of 20 additional beds will be required for no more than 3 months between January and March during any period of extension. In addition, the Council will reserve the right to pause all or part of a contract for all or part of an extension period as demand for access to the service requires. This may result in a reduction of the number of Active Recovery Beds commissioned during all or part of any extension period. Providers will be given notice as to any decisions regarding any extension or pausing of contracts.
